Carbon Farming makes sense for you, your farm and your future
Carbon farming provides various short and long-term benefits that will deliver a clean, profitable future for farmers, communities and the environment.
The Benefits of Carbon Farming
Land Productivity
By improving soil fertility, enhancing water retention, and promoting sustainable land management practices, carbon farming helps ensure agricultural land’s long-term productivity and viability, securing prosperity now and for future generations.
Improved Soil Health
Carbon farming practices such as reduced tillage and cover cropping improve soil health by increasing organic matter content, enhancing soil structure, and promoting microbial activity, leading to better nutrient retention and water infiltration.
Climate Change Mitigation
Carbon farming helps reduce the effects of climate change by sequestering carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and contributing to the overall effort to combat global warming.
Enhanced Biodiversity
Carbon farming activities like reforestation and habitat restoration create diverse ecosystems, providing habitats for native flora and fauna and contributing to overall biodiversity conservation efforts.
Financial Incentives
Carbon farming allows farmers to generate additional income by selling Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs), providing financial incentives for implementing sustainable land management practices.
Drought Resilience
Carbon farming practices such as improved pasture management and agroforestry can increase the resilience of agricultural systems to drought by enhancing water retention in soils, reducing erosion, and providing shade and windbreaks for livestock.
CarbonLink Farming Methods
Before starting your carbon farming method, you must adopt an approved method outlining eligibility criteria, project execution, abatement estimation, measurement, and reporting. CarbonLink will work with you to define your project scope and landscape before creating your unique NetImpact Programme based on the following.
Soil Carbon
Soil carbon is crucial in fertility, stability, and water retention. Understanding its levels is critical to effective land management.
However, soil carbon measurement can be complex due to variations influenced by soil and plant types. Our scientists ensure accurate assessments with tailored sampling programs, paving the way for sustainable land practices.
Unlock the secrets of soil carbon farming with CarbonLink’s innovative science-based approach.
"We chose CarbonLink for their credentials as far as experience, they understand the grazing system and their measurement is of the highest standard and therefore we can claim more carbon."
Tom ArcherRexton, Goondiwindi QLD
"Soil carbon seems to be the most valuable form of ACCUs. It's the most stable, it's down there deep and it's easily three times more than we make out of livestock. It really has freed us up to dream again and we can start to viably see a future for the next generation."
Andrew LawrieMoora Plains, Gogango QLD
"Carbon farming can equip you with the means to face the challenges and effects of climate variability with confidence."
