As part of Carbon Farming Week, a conference and expo will take place in Dubbo from Tuesday 26 to Friday 29 October. Conference moderator and lecturer in the School of Agricultural and Wine Sciences at Charles Sturt University (CSU), Mr Kerry Cochrane believes events like this are a step towards better carbon management. “This conference will focus on managing on-farm carbon cycles for profit, production and protecting the future,” Mr Cochrane said. Carbon Farming involves managing the four major resources available to a farmer; the soil, the water, the sun and the wind. “The Carbon Farming Conference aims to equip landholders with knowledge needed to make decisions that take advantage of existing and future opportunities.” This conference features many new ways to enrich soil with carbon that also reduces emissions from the application of conventional fertilisers. Farmers can also harvest the wind and the sun and sell into energy markets.
