Our soil carbon knowledge and expertise, honed through superior research and development, empower you to enhance land productivity and secure long-term prosperity for future generations.
We go beyond transactions, offering education for growth through our Carbon Farming Advisors, who deliver tailored, actionable advice rooted in real science. Our commitment to farming resilience and sustainability provides a clear path to success in the evolving landscape of agriculture.
Our mission is to make carbon farming work for farmers – simply, fairly, and profitably – so that it becomes a trusted and widely adopted income stream supporting healthy, productive and resilient landscapes for generations to come.
We exist to create value for our customer. If something does not work for the farmer, it does not work.
We frame problems carefully, challenge bias, and think clearly before deciding, so our actions compound into good outcomes over time.
We expect and plan for change. We act as drivers not passengers and continually strive to deliver best in class outcomes.
We act today, guided by long-term outcomes, so future generations inherit resilient systems and greater opportunities.

RCS Australia is the nation’s leading private provider of regenerative agriculture education, training and advisory services. Since 1985, RCS has empowered thousands of producers to build profitable, resilient businesses through holistic land, livestock and business management. Their programs and consultancy services – spanning grazing management, regenerative practices, farm business development and leadership – equip landholders to improve ecological outcomes while strengthening commercial performance.
The Queensland Farmers’ Federation is the united voice of agriculture in Queensland, representing agricultural peak industry bodies who collectively represent more than 13,000 farmers who produce food, fibre and foliage across the state. QFF’s peak body members come together to develop policy and lead projects on the key issues that are important to their farmer members and the Queensland agriculture sector.
QFF and CarbonLink are working together to support farmers in navigating the evolving carbon economy, equipping them with the knowledge and tools to enhance productivity, profitability and contribute to environmental outcomes.
AgriWebb livestock management software makes it easy for farmers to manage everything that matters to their livestock business, all in one place. Record keeping, big-picture insights, and team productivity tools, all come together in one powerful app that’s accessible anywhere, any time, and from any device – even offline.
CarbonLink customers can access AgriWebb’s powerful tools at a discounted rate, supporting the practice changes, land management strategies and digital record keeping required for successful soil carbon projects.
Food Agility CRC leads important digital innovation programs for Australia’s agrifood sector, including the landmark $6.5 million Rangelands Carbon project, which has transformed carbon estimation in Australian rangelands and delivered new digital tools that significantly reduce the cost of measuring carbon in rangeland environments while improving accuracy and decision‑making.
CarbonLink was an integral partner on this project and continues to collaborate with Food Agility CRC on solving complex, industry‑wide challenges by bringing scientific, digital and modelling expertise together to advance scalable, lower‑cost carbon measurement solutions for Australian producers.
CarbonLink proudly partners with Macintyre Ag Alliance, supporting their mission to strengthen the resilience and sustainability of producers across the greater Goondiwindi region. CarbonLink has a long history of working with local producers for the design and delivery of successful soil carbon projects. Through this partnership, CarbonLink supports community engagement, bringing producers together to unlock productivity and environmental outcomes from improved soil health and long‑term land stewardship.
CarbonLink’s capability is recognised nationally, with strong backing from producers, government and leading research partners. In 2025, the company began a federally funded NSCIC trial to test cutting‑edge in‑field sensor technologies under real farm conditions—attracting strong landholder involvement, including from Cheyenne Pastoral. This builds on earlier innovations such as NetSCAN, launched in 2020, which set a benchmark for integrating soil sampling and remote sensing to estimate carbon stocks. By 2024, CarbonLink had also completed a pilot of the Schedule 2 hybrid measure‑model‑measure method, validated by the Clean Energy Regulator and international peer review. As the only commercial organisation funded in both NSCIC Round 1 and Round 2, CarbonLink is advancing solutions that reduce project costs while maintaining scientific integrity—demonstrating industry trust and the scientific strength behind its work.
CarbonLink welcomes partners who want to support our next stage of growth and help scale the future of soil carbon innovation.
