This project aims to trial, measure and demonstrate crop sequencing and new technologies that can sequester organic carbon, mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and improve soil fertility in crop production systems that have traditionally struggled to accumulate carbon.
Four large-scale field trials will be used to assess soil management and amelioration technologies, and various crop sequence approaches will be utilised to build soil carbon and improve soil health.
The project seeks to determine if these new soil management practices can enable growers to participate in carbon trading schemes.
