Climate Change Research Program
The projects focus on:
- reducing greenhouse gas emissions such as methane, nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide
- improving soil management and determining the potential of sequestration of carbon in agricultural soils, in a variety of soil types, locations and under differing management practices
- research into alternative management practices and the development of adaptation tools and techniques.
The Climate Change Research Program supports large scale collaborative projects that involve a range of organisations such as research providers, industry groups, universities and state governments. It encourages the development of solutions for producers that will make a real difference in building their adaptability and resilience to climate change.
The Climate Change Research Program and its outcomes will improve opportunities for primary producers to respond to climate change and manage emissions while improving their productivity.
