The NSW government’s On-Farm Carbon Advice project is assisting over 120 farmers across the state in developing plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The project provides tailored plans that detail each farm’s emission profile, intensity, and potential mitigation strategies, including carbon sequestration opportunities. Casino dairy farmer Fleur Tonge highlighted the value of working with carbon experts, stating the reports are “presented in an easy-to-understand manner with sound data and recommendations.” The project aims to help farmers meet evolving industry standards and emerging demand for low-carbon produce, while also potentially participating in carbon markets. It’s a collaboration between the NSW DPIRD and the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, and is part of the Primary Industries Productivity and Abatement Program.
