Project 1-2
Carbon Farming
2022 has been an exceptionally wet year on the Jarvis dairy and dairy beef cattle farm. Whilst water is a critical resource on any farm, too much rainfall can cause a variety of problems including soil erosion, increasing sediments in waterways, loss of soil structure, increased nitrous oxide emissions and damage to infrastructure and physical harm to herds. The Jarvis family, along with many other farming families on Australia’s east coast are grappling with these challenges as the country endures its third consecutive el nino climate event in as many years.

Climate Action Initiatives
Generations of the Jarvis family have managed this farmland for 72 years and they have long considered themselves as custodians of the land. The family embraced organic farming for their dairy herd sometime ago and are actively engaged in building a healthy biology farming system. Current initiatives include sowing multi-species (12) fodder pastures on an annual basis and use to biological preparations to increase biological activity in soils which promotes healthy plant growth, carbon drawdown and sequestration, and balanced minerals and nutrients in soils.
