A Helping Hand For Carbon Planning

Posted in: 
Sustainable Agriculture

Are you a Wheatbelt farmer who needs a hand in getting on board with carbon farming? Well, we’re here to lend a helping hand. As part of the State Government’s Carbon For Farmers $10,000 voucher program, are excited to be announced as a service provider, delivering advice and support within the carbon landscape.

Carbon farming projects are presenting the Wheatbelt with a huge opportunity. Not only does it put farmers at the coalface in the fight against climate change but it represents outstanding opportunities to enhance business profitability.

However, navigating the carbon landscape and developing specific Land Management Strategies can be somewhat daunting. Through Carbon For Farmers, we have developed a support package that will help to demystify the carbon market and assist you in developing Land Management Strategies that take advantage of this opportunity.

OVERCOMING THE BARRIERS TO CARBON FARMING

One of the largest obstacles in participating in the carbon market is the preparation of Land Management Strategies that meet the regulatory guidelines. We have created a “Carbon Pathways” program support farmers in the development of these plans.

Carbon farming is an extremely exciting opportunity for Wheatbelt farmers and we are uniquely placed to help landholders take advantage of the available support.

CARBON PATHWAYS: A HELPING HAND IN CARBON PLANNING

The Carbon Pathways program is a program designed to assist Wheatbelt landholders in developing Land Management Strategies. The plan encompasses initial carbon estimates, one-on-one discussions and co-benefit assessments, all with the aim of providing landholders with an easy-to-use “how to” guide that can be used in the preparation of applications.
