International interest in a carbon credit scheme provides a win-win for farmers and the environment
19 January, 2011 – The Federal Government’s Carbon Farming Initiative, due to be introduced mid 2011, is already attracting interest from large corporations in Australia and overseas. The scheme encourages establishing forests for biodiversity and other environmental co-benefits rather than monoculture plantations. Buyers are already making enquiries to invest in Australian reforestation projects that will produce carbon credits that are low risk, resilient, and improve marginal farm land
