Carbon Farming Skills

Clean Energy Future

The ongoing Carbon Farming Skills initiative will ensure that landholders have access to credible, high quality advice and carbon services.

This measure will fund:

  • development of a new nationally accredited qualification for carbon service providers
  • accreditation of carbon brokers and aggregators operating in the Carbon Farming Initiative; and
  • information workshops for farm extension officers, catchment authorities and rural service providers about carbon farming.

The program, with funding of $4 million over five years, will commence in July 2012.

Carbon Farming Skills will be administered by the Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency.
