On-farm GHG Emissions Workshop - Jerilderie
Join other farmers and DPI On-Farm Carbon experts to learn about on-farm emissions, emissions intensity, and introductions to carbon and emissions management strategies.
This session is part of a short 3-part program which will help you calculate and understand your farm’s emission intensity, identify strategies to manage or reduce this intensity, as well as discuss opportunities for you and your farm if you are interested.
Facilitated by Claire Edwards and Lisa McFadyen from DPI On-Farm Carbon, the program includes:
- Short pre-workshop introductory webinar to help prepare information you need to bring to follow up sessions.
- Face-to-face session on 3 September working through what emissions intensity means, how to calculate farm emissions and an introduction to strategies.
- Final face-to-face session on 10 September calculating and discussing your on-farm emissions and identifying locally relevant strategies to manage these.
