Project Overview
The Low Carbon Landscapes grants support diverse approaches to investing in carbon abatement across agriculture and the land sector. Funded by the NSW Government under the Primary Industries Productivity and Abatement program, these projects will demonstrate financially viable models for delivering carbon abatement and a range of co-benefits including biodiversity, climate resilience and productivity gains.
This funding is helping to build a pipeline of investible carbon projects in the primary industries and land sector, supporting NSW’s transition to net zero while strengthening regional economies.
Through this initiative, Holbrook Landcare Network will help farmers access natural capital profiling and project planning for carbon and biodiversity initiatives. This includes business modelling and a realistic assessment of the opportunities through environmental markets mechanisms.
As momentum in this space grows, Holbrook Landcare is actively exploring ways to promote participation in carbon markets, particularly through insetting and sustainability credentialling to unlock value for both farmers and the environment in this region.
If you’re considering significant fencing changes, a pasture renovation program, new tree lanes, or revegetation areas, register for a Natural Capital Profile to:
- Benchmark your current carbon and biodiversity assets
- Understand how planned changes could create business opportunities
- Explore pathways into carbon and biodiversity markets
There’s no obligation, Upper Billabong Low Carbon Landscapes simply supports farmers in exploring their options and understanding what might work for their business.
