More than 300 beef and sheep producers across Australia are boosting their bottom line while reducing their environmental impact.
They are participating in the Farm300 program, initiated and managed by MLA and funded by the Australian Government, to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of cattle and sheep businesses while boosting profitability and productivity.
Farm300, a two-year program, is due to finish in May 2015 and aims to leave a lasting legacy by equipping producers and their advisors to:
- Manage emissions on farm
- Understand and respond to challenges from seasonal climate variability and longer-term impacts of climate changes
- Potentially benefit financially from generating carbon credits
- Minimise their environmental footprint.
