Farmers Federation welcomes carbon draft
| Sourced From ABC |
The WA Farmers Federation (WAFF) says the release of draft legislation for the Commonwealth’s carbon farming initiative is just the first step in what will be a comprehensive and detailed scheme.
The Government is inviting feedback on the plan, which will allow farmers, land holders and forest growers to trade carbon credits on a national or international market.
WAFF’s senior vice president Dale Park has welcomed the release of the draft legislation.
But he says there is still much work to be done before the initiative can be finalised.
“We have to comment on the legislation by January 21, but we see this as only the very first step in being able to get farmers to be able to participate in the carbon market,” he said.
“We foresee there will be a lot of consultation all the way along the line with this one.”
