Soil organic carbon stocks increase after ten years of reduced tillage, compost and mulch application in temperate organic agriculture
A study in Central Germany examined how regenerative practices in organic farming affect soil organic carbon (SOC) over ten years. Practices such as reduced tillage and compost application increased carbon input and improved SOC stocks mainly in the topsoil, while mulch had little effect and subsoil carbon did not increase. The results suggest that combining these practices and using deep-rooting crops and cover crops may further improve long-term soil carbon storage and sustainable crop production

Earth Systems: Helping Thai farmers to cut carbon emissions
Australia generates more than 50 million tonnes of biomass waste each year. One company that’s turning this to good use is Melbourne-based Earth Systems. Using its patented technology, Earth Systems can turn organic waste into a form of charcoal, called biochar. In 2025, Earth Systems joined a Southeast Asia Business Exchange (SEABX) mission to Thailand, which triggered a multimillion-dollar export deal. The company has now built and commissioned an Australian-manufactured biochar production facility in northern Thailand to help farmers reduce carbon emissions from agricultural burn-off.
