It is increasingly evident that land degradation plays a significant role in contributing to climate change. With agriculture occupying approximately five billion hectares (38%) of the world's land, farmers are uniquely positioned to regenerate vast areas and restore the small water cycle through improving soil health. These efforts can help reduce the frequency and severity of bushfires, droughts, and flooding.

Unfortunately, agricultural practices such as excessive tillage, fertiliser and pesticide use contribute to poor soil and ecosystem health. By reducing these detrimental practices and adopting regenerative farming approaches, there is compelling evidence of increased drought resistance, improved nutrient cycling, healthier livestock, support for native pollinators, and reduced reliance on pesticides and fertilisers.

Regardless of the type of carbon project you are involved in, they all ultimately revolve around one crucial aspect: soil restoration.
