"More than 120 farmers across New South Wales are working with experts to
develop plans designed to understand, manage, and reduce greenhouse gas
emissions on their property, as part of a joint state and federal government
climate initiative.
The free On-Farm Carbon Advice project helps farmers in the state’s extensive
beef, sheep, dairy, and mixed agriculture industries to understand where their
emissions are coming from and what practices they can use to reduce them.
The tailored plans include detailed breakdowns of annual on-farm emissions and
cover everything from livestock management, cropping, fertiliser use, plant
protection products, fuel, and energy.
The plans also produce an estimate of emission intensity, provide practical
information on mitigation strategies, and mapping of a farm’s natural assets.
The four-year project will end in June and aims to help develop plans for 150
farms.
“These plans offer a comprehensive tool, providing farmers with a clearer
understanding of their specific emissions profiles and how they compare with
their peers,” said Tara Moriarty, NSW state minister for agriculture.
“It will help farmers meet the emerging demand, from their supply chains and
customers, for low carbon produce, and secure their market access into the
future. It will also highlight opportunities … to participate in carbon
markets.”"
