Australian farmers stand to gain new income streams from a range of carbon offsets, after a long campaign by the Carbon Coalition. The Government’s Carbon Farming legislation could see farmers paid for managing soils, vegetation, fertiliser, pasture and manure. We need an industry association now because:

• Lobbying is critical now to make sure the law protects carbon farmers.
• We need resources to continue to push for the opportunities in carbon credits.
• Farmers need a truly independent source of advice – by farmers, for farmers.

 The Carbon Farming & Trading Association offers the following benefits for members: 

• Lobbying for members’ access to carbon markets through a range of offsets, including soil carbon, methane, nitrogen emissions and others. Infomation on contracts, risks and likely returns. 
• Education and training to maximise the business opportunities and assist in risk management in trading. 
• Quarterly magazine – The Carbon Farmer – The Journal of Natural Farming.
• Regular newsletter – Carbon Farming News – to alert members to opportunities. 
• Ethical trading services – Soil Carbon Baselining, Aggregation, Sub-Aggregation of Small Holdings and Brokerage, with fees invested in Association services.
