Extension and Outreach
The Extension and Outreach program is a component of Carbon Farming Futures and will invest $64 million over six years to support coordinated communication activities to provide technical information and support for farmers and other land managers to participate in the Carbon Farming Initiative (CFI) and benefit from carbon farming.
Extension and outreach activities will motivate landholders to explore opportunities to participate in the CFI carbon offsets market, by providing technical information and support about integrating carbon management into farm planning; new research and farm techniques for the property and farm business; and enhancing productivity and environmental sustainability.
The CFI is a voluntary carbon offsets scheme that will create productivity, economic and environmental benefits for farmers, forest growers and land managers who reduce greenhouse gas emissions and / or store carbon in the landscape.
The Extension and Outreach program will also supply up to date information about the Carbon Farming Futures (CFF).
