Carbon farming and sequestration: the most talked about technologies in the battle against climate change. But what is it, and how can you use it to work towards agricultural industry emission targets?
Landcare Farming, together with the webinar’s five notable speakers, brings you the next episode of the Landcare Webinar Series, ‘Maximising Ecosystem Opportunities to fit your business: Carbon’ at 2pm on Thursday Dec 1st.
After a synopsis of Australia’s current carbon landscape by Richard Eckard, Professor and Director of the Primary Industries Climate Challenges Centre, hear diverse perspectives on key questions informing farm carbon accounting, sequestering soil carbon in working lands, and the critical stages in planning and implementing carbon projects on your land.
What will you learn:
- Expand your primary producer understanding of vegetation and soil carbon
- Gain a deeper understanding of the factors driving changes in soil carbon
- Learn critical information on the productivity benefits of both vegetation + soil carbon
- Better understand the risks and opportunities offered by the Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF) scheme, administered by the Clean Energy Regulator (CER)
- Plus so much more!
