Carbon grazing: the missing link

"The Carbon Grazing team was formed to stimulate discussion on pertinent matters relating to grazing and mixed farming practices in Australia. The full text of the information package "Carbon Grazing: The Missing Link" has now been released and explains the Carbon Grazing model. This package provides a comprehensive explanation of all the principles that need to be understood to achieve Carbon Grazing. It was written with the purpose of being relevant to rural producers, scientists and decision makers, be they in Government or other funding bodies. It is a big picture systems approach to all the environmental and economic issues that confront rural producers and the rest of society. Carbon Grazing has specific relevance for adapting to climate change and worsening drought. Carbon management has always been important for rural producers, but with climate change, it is going to be even more important. It is carbon that provides the landscape with increased resilience. Grain growers have been alerted that they are likely to hear more about "farming carbon" over the next few years. However, carbon is just as important to grazing as it is to cropping, which is why Carbon Grazing has come into being".
