Yeah, so we've

got a couple of different tranches to the business.
1:21
So we have our microbial suede products, which are a fungi, a live fungi that You go into the furrow at sowing and what works on soil health, so the fungi has a mutualistic relationship with the plant and that allows the plant to pull more carbon out of the atmosphere and put it into the soil in stable forms, basically gives the plants access to extra nutrients and improves yield and protein for healthier plants.
1:59
And then alongside that, we run our second crop soil carbon projects.
2:04
So that's where the soil carbon levels are measured And for any increases, the grower gets paid Australian carbon credit units for those increases in soil carbon.
2:16
So they're the main parts of the business.

But with the product, the carbon builder product, one of the things that we found was growers don't want another job to do, like treating the seed.
