CALCULATE THE CARBON EMISSION FOR YOUR FARM BUSINESS

We are now calling for Expressions of Interest for farmers to attend a one-day workshop hosted by the University of New England, Southern New England Landcare and GLENRAC.

Register your interest by 15 April 2024

  • Are you curious to know more about how your farm can benchmark your greenhouse gas emissions?

  • Find out about strategies to reduce emissions and improve carbon storage on farm?

  • Learn more about the process and how you can calculate your own carbon account for your farm. Be future-ready.

The workshop will be delivered by Dr. Tom Davison, who has had an extensive career in livestock production with a focus on methane research and emissions reduction.

Tom will present an independent, research and fact-based workshop featuring a mix of learning and practical activities; you will also be helped to enter your own farm information to create your own carbon account.

What the workshop includes:

The workshop will feature a mix of learning and practical activities and you will also learn how to interpret a carbon account and consider options to address emissions for the future.

The carbon account will set a benchmark to show progress over time and can be used in on-farm decision-making.

We will be using the University of Melbourne's Farm Greenhouse Accounting Framework Tools for sheep and beef producers.

This is a free tool you can continue to use after the workshop.

Pre-workshop data collection will be required for each farm business. Depending on the size of your business and level of complexity this will take approximately 2 to 8 hours. Your data will remain private unless you discuss it with the group.

DATA YOU WILL NEED:

  • Stock on hand

  • Weaning / turn off rates

  • Liveweight gains

  • Classes of livestock

  • Input and outputs such as fuel, fertiliser & fodder

COST:

A booking fee of $50 will be required to confirm your place; more details will be supplied after you register your interest.
