Diary of a Carbon Farmer

This is the diary of an Australian family who escaped from the city, joined a farming community, and learned to love soil. Carbon Farming is about growing soil carbon - the first link in our food chain. The topsoil is where God's creation is taking place, at every moment. Carbon is the building block of life. By growing it we can restore ecosystems to health. At the same time we can remove Carbon Dioxide from the atmosphere and store it as Carbon in the soil.

BBC Radio 4 wants to know about Carbon Farming

All the way from Britain, Mukti Campion and Caroline Holmes (a distant relative of SHerlock, the famous detective) came out this week to find out about Carbon Farming. They spent around 4 hours with us, tramping around in the thistle and summer grasses. Caroline is a "Garden Historian". They will alert us to when the broadcast goes to air and we can catch it on the web. Many people in Europe are interested in Australia - more than we can imagine - because we are a frontier land facing Climate Change sooner than other places. (Although the poor Chinese are being belted by crazy weather, too.)
