Improving carbon markets to increase farmer participation

The objective of this project is to prepare a synthesis of the learnings to date related to farmers participation in carbon farming, the barriers to farmers from participating in carbon markets within Australia, and to provide recommendations to improve farmers participation in carbon farming.Researchers from the Australian National University, CSIRO, and the Mullion Group will explore and synthesise the opportunities and barriers for farmers to participate in carbon farming. We will focus on the regulatory, policy, and technical barriers to participation, and discuss the opportunities to reduce the identified barriers.
