I’m already doing best practice; can I still sequester carbon?

Absolutely! Even with best agricultural practices, there are ways to further enhance soil carbon sequestration. Some of the many strategies include altering grazing management, reducing tillage, integrating cover crops into rotations. Applying inoculants or bio stimulants can contribute to increasing soil carbon levels. These practices not only support soil health and fertility but also help mitigate climate change by storing carbon in the soil, making your farm more resilient and sustainable in the long term.

What area is unable to be added into a soil carbon project?

Area’s that will need to be excluded from the project are forested areas, dams and waterways, infrastructure, roads/tracks and areas with slope that make it unsafe for a vehicle and trailer. Additionally, areas where there is no intention to implement an eligible activity must also be excluded from the project scope.
