For NSW dairy farmers looking to manage greenhouse gas emissions effectively and meet industry standards, Dairy Australia’s Understanding Farm Carbon Workshop in Tamworth next week, on Tuesday November 19, 2024, is an invaluable opportunity.
Why Attend This Workshop?
With carbon emissions front and centre in both environmental regulations and public discussions, this workshop equips dairy farmers with the knowledge and tools to measure, manage, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from their operations. From methane emissions associated with cattle to emissions from fertilisers, you'll gain insight into how these factors impact both your farm’s footprint and its future profitability.
Workshop Outcomes.
Here’s what you’ll gain from attending:
Clear Emissions Insights: Discover the main sources of emissions on your farm, such as cattle methane and fertiliser use. This understanding is key to managing your carbon footprint more effectively.
