Session 1: Busting the myths
Time: 6pm AEDT, 24 March
Location: Online via Zoom
There is a lot of noise around carbon and agriculture. Is climate change real or overstated? Does Australian agriculture actually need to be carbon neutral? If methane from livestock only lasts around 12 years in the atmosphere, why is it treated the same as long lived gases? And if farming landscapes capture carbon in soils and vegetation, why are emissions still counted?
These are fair questions and they deserve straight answers grounded in evidence, not politics.
This session steps through the science, the accounting rules and the commercial realities behind the headlines. David and Cam will unpack how methane is treated, how carbon is measured on farm, what net zero really means for Australian agriculture, and where the economic risks and opportunities actually sit.
The aim is clarity. No advocacy. Just practical information so you can make informed business decisions in a changing policy and market environment.
Session 2 – From theory to on farm action
Time: 6pm AEDT, 26 March
Location: Online via Zoom
The second session moves from theory to application.
We step through how to complete a practical on farm emissions account. What data do you actually need? What drives the numbers? What has very little influence on the final result?
Rather than getting lost in complexity, the focus is on the main emission sources in Australian farming systems and how to interpret the outputs in a way that is useful for management decisions.
From there, we look at practical ways to improve emission intensity without compromising profitability. That includes the levers that genuinely shift the dial such as productivity per hectare, livestock efficiency, nitrogen management, pasture performance and feed quality. We also separate these from activities that sound good but deliver little measurable impact.
The emphasis is simple. Actions that align lower emissions with stronger business performance.
