Environmental markets are emerging as an important opportunity to encourage and reward good land management practices. The most mature market supports the production and transaction of carbon credits, however support for biodiversity, restoration of natural resources and protecting native habitat is gaining prominence with consumers and corporate business globally. There is a need for credible and impartial information for the Landcare movement about emerging markets including carbon, and how Landcare can or should be involved. This panel explores practical considerations for participation in the carbon market and other environmental initiatives such as land stewardship. It considers opportunities, risks, potential revenue streams, and the co-benefits, including increased productivity.Panelists: Dr Adrian Ward, Rowan Foley, Peter Anderson, Ben Keogh.Facilitator: Dr Shane Norrish.#NationalLandcareConference#LandcareConf22#TrainingPersonalDevelopment
