Soil Carbon, Water Resilience and Flooding
Thu, 10 Oct
|FarmED
Hear about our novel soil carbon research and hydrology modelling. This work will enable farmers, businesses and government to understand the key implications and potential value of soil carbon, regenerative farming and landscape recovery to their investment decisions and business resilience.

About the Event
Presentation of our novel science at a practical, catchment scale to support nature-based solutions
Four of the cluster's projects have applied our landscape-wide soil organic carbon baseline collection. The whole of the Evenlode catchment has been modelled for potential Natural Flood Management opportunities.
In 2024 we have been applying our soil carbon research to the flood modelling to work out the value of increasing soil carbon to natural flood management and water resilience.
This event will explain how our novel soil carbon research and hydrology modelling relates to project activities. The researchers and experts will explain our findings, targeted at key stakeholders such as government agencies, utilities and infrastructure companies. We hope this work will enable farmers, businesses and government to understand the key implications and potential value of soil carbon, regenerative farming and landscape recovery to their investment decisions and business resilience.
The project has worked to understand a baseline and value the ecosystem services. We will discuss how to build and implement opportunities for a sustainable public-private partnership model to deliver effective solutions. The Carbon Mandate Project exemplifies a science-driven approach to enhancing landscape-scale management, yielding positive outcomes in agriculture, infrastructure, and ecosystem health.
