Agriculture Victoria is confident the new one-stop spot for existing resources, tools and training related to carbon and emissions in agriculture, will help people navigate their understanding of carbon farming.
AgVic launched the Carbon and Emissions Resource Kit on Monday, December 9 as a ‘one-stop spot’ for farmers to access existing public and science-based resources, tools and training related to carbon and emissions in agriculture.
Climate change service development officer Heather Field said the new digital kit included links to a range of AgVic products and resources, as well as industry and Australian government resources.
“The kit will be a valuable resource for service providers including consultants, government agency staff and advisors delivering carbon and emissions information and management strategies to farmers,” Ms Field said.
“This new product ... supports farmers and land managers to understand carbon farming and how they can benefit from moving to a low-carbon future.”
Ms Field said the new kit provided information to help address three key inquiries: the reason for managing emissions, where to start and how much carbon farming should be done.
The kit is available at https://go.vic.gov.au/41mxy1v or phone 136 186.
