Wheatbelt NRM’s ‘Get the dirt’ podcast digs into what really matters for soil health, resilience and farming in a tough climate.
In this interview, Emeritus Professor Richard Bell from Murdoch University discusses new farming methods designed to increase soil carbon, reduce green house gas emissions, and improve soil fertility across Western Australia’s Wheatbelt. From deep sands to clay-rich soils, Richard outlines practical ways farmers can slow carbon loss and build soil fertility.
Hosted by Aimee Mouritz, Wheatbelt NRM’s Sustainable Agriculture Facilitator.
