Peter R Day - Carbon Neutral Farming

Summary

The Carbon Neutral Options Workshop Session Notes report presents the outputs from a national meeting of researchers involved in demonstrating options for sheep and beef producers to reduce the net emissions of greenhouse gases from their operations. The meeting was convened by Meat & Livestock Australia as part of the Australian Government's Reducing Emissions from Livestock Research Program.
Drawing on their experience and expertise, the researchers developed preliminary drafts of research proposals in readiness for future funding applications. Sharing ideas and insights at the workshop strengthened the thinking behind the proposals and further developed ideas and initiatives for stronger collaboration between sites in different States. Greater standardization in approaches across sites will enable easier sharing of knowledge between regions, permitting producers to more readily access leading research findings.
