Soil Carbon in the NSW Rangelands Pastoral Poddy

Welcome to a special two part edition of the Pastoral Poddy, focusing on carbon in the rangelands. Western Local Land Services recently held an event on this topic. And for those who couldn't make it, we've gathered a panel of speakers to jam pack all the best bits into the podcast. This episode looks at health in rangelands and holistic land management approaches. It explores the significance of soil organic matter, carbon levels, and practical tips from experts in regenerative agriculture. We learn about adaptive land management practices and observing natural patterns to prevent erosion, promote ground cover, and enhance landscape health for long-term rehydration and rehabilitation.
