Soil carbon is the ‘score card’ for the health of your soil. Starting a soil carbon project and increasing soil carbon carries significant benefits to the health and productivity of your farm.
• Better rainfall infiltration and water holding capacity
• Resilience in the face of climate extremes
• Longer growing season
• Increased soil biological diversity
• Potential additional revenue of $50-$100 per hectare each year
A COMPLEX PROCESS MADE SIMPLE
Taking on a soil carbon project can be a complicated process, but AgriProve makes the job of building soil carbon & earning credits easy.
How it works:
Register - establish a background of on-farm operations, and AgriProve will register the farmer's carbon project with the Clean Energy Regulator. We make soil carbon projects as easy as ABC
AgriProve is given consent by the landholder to run the soil carbon project. Once this occurs AgriProve completes all the required paperwork and mapping of the project for the Landholder.
Better farming practices are committed to be implemented by the landholder.
Commitment by the landholder to keep the land as agricultural use for 25 years.
3. Implement - farmers implement land management strategies to maintain or increase farm productivity and build soil carbon across the project area.
5. Claim - claim and sell the Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) awarded on the basis of a measured increase in soil carbon.
2. Baseline - execute baseline soil sampling to establish existing soil carbon levels before the work to build carbon begins.
4. Measure - Having implemented the land management strategy over several seasons, a subsequent soil sampling round measures and reports the change in soil carbon across the project area.
BE A PART OF THE SOLUTION FOR THE CLIMATE, YOUR LAND AND INCOME
With changes to the climate resulting in hotter temperatures, more erratic rainfall, and more frequent natural disasters, it's more important than ever to improve your farm's resilience and minimise risk to your profits and productivity.
Building soil carbon can allow farmers to overcome these challenges. Soil carbon increases the health of your farm and carries multiple benefits such as increased water holding capacity, greater drought tolerance and a longer growing season, improved soil fertility, better produce quality, and the ability to make additional revenue.
Starting a soil carbon project is the best step you can take towards prioritising your farm's long-term health, mitigating and adapting to climate change, as well as creating additional revenue for your farm.
