"Renewables in agriculture are gaining momentum across the nation as Australia
pushes to reach its net-zero emissions target by 2050.
Australia’s energy market operator has declared renewables as the most
cost-effective way of reaching net-zero targets in the grid, but just how much
of the load will be carried by the farming sector remains unclear.
Across pockets of the nation, farmers are already doing their bit to reduce
their carbon footprint.
“Anecdotally, we have seen a huge increase in farmers seeking renewables
projects as farmers seek to increase the productivity of their farms,” Farmers
for Climate Action’s Natalie Collard told
AAP.
“Renewables offer drought-proof income, and drought-proof income keeps farms
going through the toughest of times.”"
