Empowering farmers and land managers through carbon farming

Carbon farming describes land use and agriculture practices that manage greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions while improving the productivity, profitability, and resilience of your farm. Carbon farming aims to reduce on-farm emissions and increase the opportunity for carbon sequestration.

There is increased national and international pressure on farmers to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, with mandatory reporting of emissions coming into effect from as early as January 2025.

This page supports you to stay connected and be part of the discussion.

We look forward to working with you to realise your role in South Australia reaching the state and national carbon emission targets. Register for a workshop in your area today!
