#Carbon

Heechung Sung from the Clean Energy Finance Corporation shares insights on what investors want to see when it comes to supporting AgTech innovation.

In the race to net zero, The University of Sydney has developed an exciting new soil carbon assessment system called MelaniC.

In this episode of the evoke^AG. podcast, ecological artist, environmental book author, and art science educator Aviva Reed shares how she uses techniques such as art making, storytelling, and hands-on ecoliteracy to explore complexity, making scientific concepts accessible and beautiful.

In February 2024 David Smith and I announced a collaboration aimed at helping producers manage their grazing enterprise to build soil carbon. David is Co-Founder and CEO of Queensland-based Ceres Tag – pioneer of the world's first direct-to-satellite animal monitoring platform. And I am the Founder and MD of AgriProve, Australia’s largest soiltech carbon developer. 
We call it ‘Tags for Tonnes’ – and since launch, early adopters have provided feedback on the insights they’ve gathered, from mustering efficiency and stock theft reporting, to informed grazing rotations for land utilisation.  

Navigating the world of carbon farming – with its crowds of service providers, aggregators, and complex methodologies – can be a murky undertaking. And it’s a handbrake on adoption. Stepping in to clear the path are agribusiness leader and evoke^AG. 2025 Platinum Partner, Elders, and producer-led natural capital advisory, Isidore Agri + Eco, who share a mission to empower producers to understand, engage in, and take control of their carbon farming future.

Australia's economic landscape has long been characterised by two formidable pillars: mining and agriculture. These industries, while distinct in operation and sometimes at odds politically, share a tapestry of challenges, knowledge, and opportunities. Could the surprising interconnectedness of mining and agriculture pave the way for collaborative solutions to shared challenges? As Australia embarks on a journey towards sustainable economic development, harnessing the collective wisdom of these industries will be instrumental in realising our shared bounty.
Rebecca Tomkinson, CEO, Chamber of Minerals and Energy of Western Australia explores five key factors of this symbiotic relationship.

Carbon is the currency of modern agriculture, so it’s no surprise that attendees at AgriFutures evoke^AG. 2024 were keen to know how Australia’s ag sector can overcome its stubbornly slow adoption of low-carbon solutions. As we hurtle towards 2030 (D-Day for most decarbonisation pledges both in Australia and internationally) market and regulatory pressures to reduce GHG emissions are bearing down upon the agrifood supply chain. Despite the urgency to respond, Australian producers aren’t yet flocking to low carbon production.

Here, top academics, early adopters, and sustainable livestock feed innovators share their truths on why adoption is lagging, and how we can drive faster progress.

On paper, decarbonisation programs to reduce scope 3 emissions on-farm sound like the best option for our producers, our industry and our planet; but what do they look like in practice? The team from Cargill share how its partnership with Regrow Ag is supporting Australian canola farmers.

Carbon Sync, is on a mission to redefine agriculture in Western Australia. Founder and CEO Louise Edmonds explains why flexible, adaptable soil carbon projects are the way of the future – de-risking not just farm businesses, but farming itself.

Fewer cars, fewer flights and much less meat. And if you live in Canada or the United Kingdom, your personal carbon footprint needs to fall by 90 percent by 2050.

Socially conscious consumers are increasingly demanding sustainable fashion, driving companies to innovate greener forms of fibre production.

evoke^AG. 2023 highlighted agriculture’s challenges and opportunities in entering the carbon market amidst rising climate commitments.
