#Carbon

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

Government, industries and companies are stepping up their climate commitments and evoke^AG. 2023 highlighted the opportunities and potential challenges for agriculture in tapping into the carbon market. A panel of experts working in this space argued there’s more than one way for farmers to cash in on soil carbon and climate friendly management practices, but that data is the key.

Between a growing global population and the effects of extreme weather events, food security and climate change are intrinsically linked.
One Aussie startup is putting agriculture at the centre of the fight against climate change, using microbial technology to remove carbon from the atmosphere and boosting soil quality for farmers – at the same time.

In a time where natural capital accounting is becoming hugely important in addressing the challenges of climate change, FLINTpro’s software simplifies data presentation and empowers policymakers, business leaders, and investors to take action.

Wilmot Cattle Co’s pioneering carbon credit deal with Microsoft has caught the attention of farmers, investors, corporates and everyone in between – proving that carbon farming can in fact be profitable, when measured. Stuart Austin shares his advice for others seeking to monetise their natural capital and reduce risk.

Australian farmers are keen to engage in carbon markets to grow their businesses and be rewarded for regenerative practices. But without a clear path to monetise soil carbon credits, how can farmers cash in on this opportunity?

Meet Tegan Nock, Australia’s golden girl for soil health and co-founder of Orange-based startup, Soil Carbon Co. Tegan is empowering farmers to boost soil carbon, using microbial technology, which could help sink billions of tonnes of carbon and offers a tradeable commodity.

Australia historically has very infertile and fragile soil compared to other parts of the world but rather than fall into crisis mode, some are encouraging us to see the opportunities this presents to improve the earth on which we feed our future generations.
