[FOCUS] Grazing Lightly Farming with Kate Field

CarbonSessions

Episode Summary: This segment is from a longer episode featuring Kate Field, a regenerative farmer from Tasmania, Australia.

In this episode, we explore sustainable farming practices focusing on low-input systems to avoid overgrazing and carbon leakage. Emphasizing the importance of resting pastures and maintaining continuous plant growth, we discuss methods like holistic grazing to enhance soil health and carbon sequestration. This approach not only nurtures soil microbiology but also optimizes pasture recovery and organic carbon content, illustrating a harmonious balance with nature's rhythm.
