Join us to find out how South Coast producers can get involved.

Producers, landholders, advisors and others involved in agriculture are invited to join us 20 March to find out about measuring whole-of-farm emissions, increasing carbon storage on farm, the benefits to farming businesses, and accessing carbon farming opportunities.

In this workshop landholders will also learn about carbon farming, and how the Carbon Farming and Land Restoration Program (CF-LRP) can assist with starting a Carbon Farming project.
