Understanding and measuring greenhouse gas emissions (or the carbon number) on dairy farms is vital. It provides farmers
with valuable information for improving productivity and sustainability, and preparing
for regulatory and market changes.
This workshop supports dairy farm businesses to understand the drivers of greenhouse gas emissions and how to reduce their carbon footprint. From understanding industry requirements to assessing potential productivity and environmental benefits, the workshop provides farmers with essential information and practical steps.
Workshop outcomes
1) Gain a solid understanding of the drivers of greenhouse gas emissions on dairy farms and the influencing factors, including the methane from cattle, fertiliser and carbon stores, to better manage a farms carbon footprint.
2) Learn about the industrys emissions reduction targets, explore farm activities and technologies, and get clarity on common carbon terms such as insetting, offsetting and reduction.
3) Calculate greenhouse gas emissions using our online tools designed specifically for Australian dairy farming, the Australian Dairy Carbon Calculator and DairyBase.
4) Explore practical steps for reducing greenhouse gas emissions on dairy farms to make informed choices that protect profitability and sustainability.
5) Understand the Australian Carbon Credit Unit (ACCU) scheme and the benefits and risks. Learn about
the due diligence required before participating in a carbon farming project and how to leverage ACCUs for potential financial and environmental gains.
This workshop is delivered by Dairy Australias carbon farming specialists. Following the workshop, dairy farmers have the option of a one-to-one session with Dairy Australia to identify and support their specific needs.
Delivered with funding support from the Commonwealth of Australia through the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water
