The Net Zero Business Podcast

The Vital Role of Soils in the Climate Battle with Prof Karen Johnson


Listen Later

There is huge interest in nature-based solutions for climate change, and the success of these mainly comes down to carbon retention in soil. In this episode of the Net Zero Business Podcast, I talk to award-winning Professor of Environmental Engineering Karen Johnson (who also happens to be my partner of 30+ years and, yes, this is the kind of thing we discuss over breakfast) about how soil holds (or loses) carbon, the scope for removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into the soil, and why it is much more complicated than people think.


since we uploaded the episode, Karen has noticed she misspoke on adding waste to soils - she meant to say she fully approves of doing so.
