Join Adam and Tracey Gunthorpe on their soil carbon journey and hear about their successful generation of carbon credits.
Learn about:
- grazing management and multi-species pastures to increase soil carbon
- role of soil carbon projects to reach carbon neutral and new Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) demo site
