South Coast NRM assists livestock producers to become carbon neutral in the next decade.
Led by the Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture, a project consortium describes its plans to set up case study farms in 10 different agro-ecological zones producing red meat, to increase producers’ understanding of factors affecting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions mitigation, productivity, profitability and natural capital. This ambitious multi-stakeholder project will evaluate the biodiversity of grazing systems and design pathways that make beef, lamb and goat meat production carbon neutral in a decade, in line with Meat & Livestock Australia’s CN2030 goal.
