We’re thrilled to see enhanced rock weathering (ERW) to be featured on ABC Landline by Pip Courtney Journalist tomorrow finally receiving the attention it deserves. Rocks are having their moment, and we’re absolutely here for it.
At Munash Organics, this moment feels especially meaningful.
For over 30 years, we’ve worked with basalt and other silicate minerals like granite not just as a climate solution, but as a living input to support healthy, resilient soil. Long before “enhanced rock weathering” became a recognised term, we were out in the paddocks spreading rock minerals, blending them with microbes and seaweed to bring land back to life.
The basalt conversation is growing, and this weekend’s ABC landline feature marks an exciting shift not just for carbon capture, but for the future of farming that works with nature.
A few years ago, we partnered with The Australian National University and leading soil scientists to study the carbon storing power of our minerals and what we discovered confirmed what we’ve always believed: that rocks, when used in harmony with biology, have the power to regenerate soil and sequester carbon.
To see projects like Carbonaught workign together with JCU: James Cook University, Australia now stepping into this space is uplifting. It shows momentum is building, and more eyes are turning toward the ground where real change begins.
For us, this work is personal.
My dad was one of the early advocates for basalt and other silicate rock minerals in agriculture, and we’re proud to carry that vision forward through innovation, science, and connection to country.
This is a movement whose time has come.
And we’re proud to walk alongside it.
A growing number of scientists believe crushed basalt, a volcanic rock used in roads, could be used as a fertiliser, with trials showing it can improve soil and capture carbon.
