A Managing the Herd Beneath the Surface: Can You Profit from Healthy Soils

Carbon sequestration. What is it? Are grazers doing it? Why does it matter? Is there an opportunity to profit from your good management? What do you mean by “ecosystem services?” How do I know how much carbon is in the soil? Who cares? These questions and more will be addressed in this symposium sponsored by Texas Grazing Land Coalition. We will hear from individuals from Grass Roots Carbon and Ecosystem Market Services Consortium detailing how these markets are being organized and how the management of the grazing animals makes a difference, a big difference, in soil health. You will hear from the folks on the cutting edge of these markets and from a rancher who has contracted his ranch with them as well as businesses who are interested in purchasing carbon.
