Four amazing workshops led by our Sustainable Agriculture team and other experts guided participants to learn some of the ins and outs, whys, and ways of carbon farming.

 Our Sustainable Agriculture team partnered with the Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries to share information with landholders about the emerging carbon and environmental markets, the carbon cycle, progress towards carbon neutral, and what it all means for their grazing business.

The workshop series were run in four geographically diverse locations across SEQ including Pinelands Hall (Crows Nest), Toogoolawah, Gatton, and Boonah.

What some of the landholders said:

“It was such an informative session with real-life examples of costs and great resources for farmers!”

“An excellent presentation with a thorough introduction to carbon farming and plenty of info!”

The workshops were extremely successful! Over 100 landholders heard from respected carbon farmer and advisor Christophe Bur along with the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries and our staff on a range of topics, including:

• The carbon cycle and carbon emissions in agriculture.
• Carbon neutrality. What does it mean at an industry and farm level?
• How to develop a carbon account for your grazing business.
• Practical options for managing carbon and emissions on a farm.
• Carbon farming. What’s involved, methods and opportunities, and risks for agribusinesses.
• Other emerging environmental markets.

The learnings and resources shared will allow participants to make more informed decisions in the rapidly evolving and sometimes confusing space of the carbon farming environment.
