Melbourne, VIC: Today, Carbon Count announced that their latest publication, created on behalf of Australian Government entity Agrifutures Australia, is now available for download and purchase.

Farmers worldwide are on the frontline in our global quest to mitigating climate change. Enabling and facilitating farm enterprises everywhere to pivot to emission reduction and carbon sequestration practices in an efficient and economically friendly way, is hence crucial in order to meet NetZero 2050 targets. A farmer’s handbook to on–farm carbon management aims to enable primary producers to take climate action by clarity and practical guidance on on–farm carbon management schemes available under the Government’s Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF).

‍

Key Discussion Points include which of the Australian Governments' on–farm emission reduction schemes are relevant to each type of farm enterprise, what the opportunities and requirements are for participating in these schemes, what the common risks, costs and pitfalls are which are associated with participation, as well as what the potential rewards and benefits of participating in on–farm emission reduction schemes could be.

Robert Quirk, cane farmer in NSW, Australia, remarked: “This is a great overview of what’s really available to Australian farmers. We need clarity and answers, we need to know what the transition to more climate–friendly practices will look like from a cost benefit perspective. Its' simplicity and actionable information that will get the industry moving.”

‍

The book is available for free download or as a print-on-demand hardcopy via the Agrifutures website, and is already raising much-needed awareness among farmers and agronomists.
