OnFARM Podcast: Carbon capture on farm with Rock on Soils and SOPA

Listen to "Carbon capture on farm with Rock on Soils and SOPA" on Spreaker.

Rock on Soils is a project exploring whether spreading crushed rock onto agricultural land can capture large quantities of carbon in the ground.Taking carbon out of the air is a key part of the fight against climate change, and the rock that's used is a by-product of quarrying, so it's an exciting prospect.

The EU-funded project is being led by the Scottish Organic Producers Association (SOPA), and a range of academic and farming partners.>p>To find out more, Anna is speaking with Dunkeld beef and sheep farmer Alex Brewster, Doug Christie, who's got a partly-organic mixed farm in Leven in Fife, and Ehsam Jorat, a senior lecturer in geotechnical engineering at Abertay University.
