R2Kast 189 - Ben Hunt on farming carbon, sugar beet, agronomy and getting into farming

Can you farm carbon?

A question posed by 2022 Nuffield scholar, Ben Hunt! When I hear it I immediately in the current world consider carbon a commodity in that question.  This was the same for Ben when he started out but as his travels progressed he started to consider carbon the resource with an after thought as a commodity!

Ben is an agronomist, he’s worked for British sugar, worked in Canada and New Zealand and much more! 

This is a discussion with two main themes, 1 the title ‘can you farm carbon?’ as well as the navigation of the waters on the way to farming for himself! 

Great chat with someone I really enjoyed hearing them think before they answer! 

Enjoy!
