SARDI and the Ag Excellence Alliance will deliver the ARN program in SA, which involves working closely with farmers and those that influence their decision making to address farm-scale challenges in monitoring, managing and accounting for Green House Gas emissions. The aim is to establish on-farm demonstration sites to address long-term strategic and tactical approaches to emissions management, and to test the value proposition for measuring, monitoring and reporting GHG emissions.

The ARN takes a co-design approach with the goals of improving grower, service provider and government access to consistent data and knowledge, provide meaningful data-informed insights, to uplift on-farm emissions literacy and to demonstrate a link between emissions intensity and efficiency.

The ARN will build on trusted networks of consultants around the state along with researchers, farming systems groups, Landscape Boards, marketers, financial providers and other stakeholders to contribute to regional hubs that will develop local solutions while working closely with the other LEIFS programs providing data and technical skills.
