The National Farmers Federation says that Australia s suite of climate change action measures recognise the agriculture sector s capacity to reduce emissions and mitigate climate change.
President Fiona Simson said the methodologies released by Energy & Emissions Reduction Minister Taylor, complemented a suite of established measures and were another important tool in the toolbox.
Minister Taylor identified five methodology priorities.
“The two that the NFF are vitally interested in are soil carbon and plantation forestry,” Ms Simson said.
“Soil carbon especially, needs much more research and better information about the impacts of different management practices. We are pleased that these methodologies will be designed with industry.
