Carbon-rich soils that are high in organic matter bring many advantages, from higher yields, lower inputs and reduced costs to more resilience to climate instability - as well as more carbon captured and stored.Getting it right with soils has multiple benefits, says FarmED head of sustainability Jonty Brunyee, who adds there are knock-on effects when trapping and storing carbon in the soil and above-ground biomass."Where you have a biologically active soil that is full of life, you get healthier crops with functioning roots that require fewer interventions. Crucially, soil exudate pathways are working, so carbon is being stored at depth."
