Carbon Farming Conference

Some relevant highlights and messages for landholders coming out of the conference included:
⍟ carbon price signals are very strong with ACCU demand expected to increase under Labour government.
⍟ engagement from the voluntary sector continues to drive prices;
⍟the ‘flight to quality ACCUs’ (e.g., carbon sequestration projects that have co-benefits such as soil health, biodiversity and water retention on farm) are starting to command premiums. We know that well designed carbon in trees and soil benefit benefits farm productivity and its only a matter of time that buyers of credits seek these credits out from the rest.
⍟the Active Land Management and Agricultural Production Method for ACCUs is expected to land first quarter next year. As per point above, this is a no brainer for landholders as you can integrate carbon in trees, soil and manage livestock under this approach. Yes you will be able to roll over existing project registrations to this new method and add other areas on farm.
