TWO new carbon-management modules are now available on Meat and Livestock Australia’s free eLearning platform, The Toolbox.
Packed with practical advice, the training modules focus on the key concepts of carbon accounting and the actions producers can take on-farm to support their emissions reduction and carbon sequestration journey.
Following on from the release of Carbon 101 in October 2022, the two new modules – Measuring Your Own Emissions and Carbon Sense – provide guidance on the carbon accounting process and steps producers can take to reduce emissions.
Measuring Your Own Emissions (subtitled Using the Primary Industries Climate Challenges Centre Greenhouse Accounting Framework) supports producers in understanding what data is needed and how to estimate emissions. It uses custom-built videos to walk producers through using the Sheep and Beef Greenhouse Accounting Framework calculator to estimate emissions and establish a baseline emissions profile.
Carbon Sense gives practical advice and tips on how to take action and reduce on-farm to emissions.
Both eLearning modules, which take less than an hour to complete, provide producers with an opportunity to learn through case studies, images, videos, quizzes and practical data application, either their own or default data.
They also help producers understand how their lessons can be applied to their current and future planning.
The modules were developed and funded in partnership with Australian beef processor Greenham, with technical support from agribusiness consultants Pinion Advisory.
