DPIRD Growing Carbon on Farm – Northam
13 Jun 2023 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Join us at a WA Carbon Farming workshop run by the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development to learn more about Carbon Farming.
Carbon farming refers to the land-based activities that store carbon in vegetation and soil (sequestration), or minimise the release of greenhouse gases from livestock, soil or vegetation (avoidance). These activities can generate tradeable carbon credits that farmers can use to offset their carbon footprint or provide a secondary income stream.
At tables across the world, people will soon be sitting down to a tender Australian steak, a glass of Australian shiraz, and a side of Australian Carbon Credit Units.
Join us at a WA Carbon Farming workshop run by the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) to learn more about carbon farming.
