This two-year project will deliver a nationwide carbon farming outreach program, largely in broadacre and pastoral industries.
Led by the Grower Group Alliance, this project unites 40 farming and land management groups from all states and the Northern Territory with a combined partners’ membership of 20,000+ farming businesses.
Grower groups will provide training on a local scale, partnering with farm advisory service providers to deliver trusted, reliable advice to an estimated 3,500+ farming enterprises. Participants will be armed with the capacity to reduce emissions, sequester carbon and consider carbon farming opportunities.
Delivered with funding support from the Commonwealth of Australia through the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water under the Carbon Farming Outreach Program
