Soil Carbon Sequestration in Australian dairy regions 2018PDF, 1.87 MB
The report focusses on providing a balanced analysis of the potential for soil carbon sequestration for climate change mitigation in the context of productive and profitable agricultural businesses, particularly targeting dairy farming in southern Australia. The science and policy settings are complex but the objective is to provide a resource for farmers and their advisers that presents a clear overview of current knowledge (in 2018), and the areas where there is still debate and lack of consensus. The report also discusses the risks and possible opportunities for farmers considering engaging in carbon markets to obtain income from soil carbon credits.
