Carbon Farming

The Carbon Farming Knowledge project has proven to be extremely effective in engaging 30 farm advisers who are the key influencers of farmers across southeastern Australia. The aim was to build their knowledge, understanding, and attitude to reduce GHG emissions on farm and store carbon across the farming landscape. In three years, the project has shifted the advisers and a majority of their farmer clients from ignorance and skeptics of carbon farming to where they are now actively engaged in positive discussions on how farm practices can be changed to reduce emissions and build carbon in soils and vegetation.
