Before the Flood...

Tyson lives on a farm, and the nearby river is due to flood his farm after the upcoming storm.  Tyson needs to transport his animals and food across the river before the flood.  Jacob has a small rowboat that has only enough space for Tyson and either his dingo, his bunny, or his basket of carrots.  Tyson has a problem.  If he leaves the bunny alone with the carrots, the bunny will eat the carrots.  If Tyson leave the bunny alone with the dingo, the dingo will eat the bunny.

How can Tyson get his dingo, his bunny, and his carrots across the river?

How many one-way trips will Tyson have to make to accomplish this?
