In this episode of the MSF Farmtalk podcast, the focus is on soil carbon and carbon farming in the Mallee. Over the past 12 months, pilot projects supported by the South Australian government's Department of Primary Industries and Regions have explored the feasibility of storing carbon post-soil amelioration.

The podcast includes a field day discussion with consultant Ed Scott and various farmers about the initial findings, methods for mapping and managing land, and the challenges in increasing soil carbon in low rainfall sandy environments.

The episode also delves into the practical and agronomic benefits of soil amelioration, the complexities of carbon project registration, and the potential for future carbon accounting and emissions tracking.
