The long-term productivity and climate resilience of agriculture can be enhanced by carbon farming projects that integrate with ongoing farm businesses.
They can provide alternative income streams, landscape restoration and improved productivity for farmers and pastoralists.
These projects have the capacity to deliver a range of environmental, social, and economic co-benefits including biodiversity and conservation, soil health, salinity mitigation, agricultural productivity, and Aboriginal cultural and economic opportunities.
Carbon farming projects are registered under the Australian Government’s ACCU Scheme so they can be issued with Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs), a tradeable asset. Carbon credits can incentivise the establishment of projects which can reduce carbon emissions, offering landholders income diversification and opportunities for insetting or offsetting.
See below for information on state government funding initiatives and how you can start a carbon farming project.
