Everybody is talking carbon science cafe' - an Albany science in the community event

No doubt you have heard a lot on the media over the past few years about how agriculture will store lots of carbon in the soil and in above-ground vegetation. Can farmers make money from storing carbon on the farm? What are some of the different approaches? How long does it take? Is agriculture doing the heavy lifting for other industries?

Also farmers Richard Davey and Simon Wallwork discuss their approaches to carbon sequestration and their aims to be carbon neutral on their farms as soon as possible.

Within suburban areas we have little knowledge of where they move and what resources they require. Radio tracking is being used to study their movements.
