Local beef brand, the Tasmanian Agricultural Company has become the first farm in the state to register a soil carbon project under the Australian Government’s $2.55 billion Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF).

The business has baselined its Central North property through AgriProve, Australia’s leading soil carbon developer. Agriprove is a one stop shop for soil carbon, taking farmers on the journey from building soil carbon on-farm, to carbon credit sales.

Soil carbon: a new income stream for farmers

Soil carbon achieves a major milestone as the second round of soil carbon credits are issued to AgriProve and West Gippsland farmer Niels Olsen. It demonstrates how soil carbon farming can improve productivity, profitability and income diversity for farmers while helping to create a healthier planet.
