Beyond the Graze with Hugh and Anna McMurtrie

How Hugh and Anna McMurtrie's Investigation Inspired a Soil Carbon Project

Upper Bingara, NSW

Summary

Hosted by Col Feilen this webinar explores the challenges and insights that led Hugh and Anna McMurtrie to explore a Soil Carbon Project for their northern NSW Angus-Wagyu beef enterprise.  

Hugh and Anna's Bingara Soil Carbon Project aims to enhance soil health, increase carbon sequestration, drive profitability and promote sustainable agricultural practices.

Their project not only highlights the importance of soil as a vital natural capital on the land but also underscores the role of informed agricultural practices in fostering ecological resilience and profitability.

"As corporates become responsible for reporting on their impact on climate change... we thought about our relationships with people, our banks particularly, and decided that they will want to be working with farmers that are resilient to changes in weather patterns and doing things like soil carbon projects."
