[QUOTE="Woolly, post: 4197768, member: 1580"] How did you arrive at these figures? Did you use one of the established carbon calculators? There are several Carbon calculators on the web. One is CLA's CALM, which seems to be well respected. There's also the US COMET FARM calculator, which covers the continental US, so to use it elsewhere you need to find a part of the US with your climate, soil, etc. Those are interesting figures of yours, but contrary to much scientific opinion, eg see Dr Tara Garnett (Oxford University) 29mins into this: [URL]http://sustainablefoodtrust.org/articles/debating-the-role-of-livestock-with-joel-salatin/[/URL] So reading the rest of your post, the position in NZ as elsewhere I suspect, is that 'big' industrial farming is fearful of emissions trading so are lobbying against it? The likes of Joel Salatin and Alan Savory are seen as snake oil salesmen and poo-pooed by much of the scientific community. We need to evidence to show otherwise. PS just read your post ^. Who is [I]Carbon Farm[/I]? [/QUOTE]
