Summary: Increasing the retention of soil carbon within agriculturally lands is identified as one of the most effective means of combating climate change whilst also securing ongoing food production. This project aims to assist land holders in quantifying changes in soil carbon over time through access to a low cost, effective and repeatable method using remote sensing data.
