[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 4191884, member: 63856"] There really does need to be some serious lobbying done to secure carbon credits for any land left in permanent pasture IMO. Trees are [B]not[/B] the only thing that 'are green'. They look more impressive than PP, but who can eat a tree??? Livestock farmers worldwide really really need to drive this message. I'm actually quite amazed it's not a part of the HLS already- it's not new knowledge by any means. Grassland is more of a carbon sink than forestry - so long as permanent means permanent. There is currently work being done in Australia to accurately calculate how much $$$ is in the soil per hectare - really just needs field data. This was on my FB just a day or two ago, hopefully some real data will change the way our politicians, public, and importantly farmers base their decisions going forward. Downside is, those with not such 'good practices' would then have to pay for releasing it, once those figures are in the public arena. It would probably also be the beginning of the end for soluble nitrogen fertilisers.. And the beginning of regenerative farming / continuous cover cropping/ pasture cropping, being more than just something for hippy overseas farmers to tinker with..
