Carbon Farming Outreach Program

Carbon Farming Outreach Program – phase 1

October 2024 to March 2026

The first phase of the program was designed to help Victorian farmers, land managers and service providers:

• understand their greenhouse gas emissions
• find ways to reduce their emissions and store carbon.

Agriculture Victoria partnered with Landcare Victoria and the 10 catchment management authorities to offer training across Victoria. Over 18 months, independent, trusted experts delivered:

• 121 free training events at 93 locations across Victoria
• 33 online events.

These reached 4,060 farmers, land managers and service providers.

Emissions in Agriculture Community of Practice

Do you want to learn about new farm-level emissions research, activities and resources?

The Emissions in Agriculture Community of Practice (CoP) brings farm emissions service providers and advisors together. They can collaborate, build collective capability and improve emissions advice for farmers. This will help farmers understand the carbon and emissions story for their farms.

Want to join?

We currently have over 200 members in our CoP. If you would like to join, email us at actionplanpilot@agriculture.vic.gov.au to be added.

Carbon Farming Outreach Program – phase 2: ‘Train the Trainer’

Agriculture Victoria is running workshops starting in 2026 and running through to 2028. They will be a mix of one and 2-day, face-to-face and online events. They aim to help agricultural advisors inform and advise farmers and land managers on carbon farming. They will help advisors provide advice during and beyond the life of the program.

All agricultural industries are welcome.
