Carbon Farming Outreach Program

The Carbon Farming Outreach Program (CFOP) supports farmers and land managers, including First Nations land managers, to manage emissions and participate in carbon farming.

Emissions management is about understanding and measuring greenhouse gases from agriculture to make informed decisions to manage them over time.

Carbon farming is a way of managing land to reduce emissions or increase carbon stored in plants and soil.

Emissions management and carbon farming offer financial opportunities for the sector and improve long-term productivity and resilience, while providing environmental benefits.

The Carbon Farming Outreach Program:

● helps farmers and land managers make informed decisions about managing emissions and participating in carbon farming

● trains trusted advisers to provide information and support to help farmers and land managers to understand and make decisions to reduce emissions and store carbon

● provides access to clear and culturally appropriate information about carbon farming.
