#59: Farming to Save the Planet - Tim Wright at Lana Farm
Starting 2022 with a loud MOOOO, we'll be hearing from Tim Wright, holistic and regenerative farmer at Lana Farm in the northern Tablelands of NSW. Over 95% of Tim's farm is in constant recovery mode, meaning that the land has time to heal and regenerate. Despite being a cattle and sheep farm, Lana farm is carbon negative! How is this possible? Listen to find out...
You'll learn:
- What is holistic farming (why don't we say wholistic?) How are oranges involved?
- What is natural capital accounting? How is this useful to farmers?
- What are carbon credits?
- What are biodiversity credits?
- Are these realistic and practical measurements?
