    Description

    We are sticking with the theme of climate change from two weeks ago, but turning our attention to a potential solution for removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and it just so happens that this may also help rebuild the health of our soils. I speak with Professor David Beerling from the department of animal and plant science from the University of Sheffield about the use of basalt in agricultural production.
