Delighted to announce our publication in the prestigious journal Nature Communications šŸ˜Š Using a co-design approach with farmers, we showed that costs of transitioning to net-zero are lower when GHG mitigation practices evoke productivity co-benefits. researchgate.net/publicationā€¦

The Aus livestock sector aspires to net zero by 2030. We found that the sector has reduced GHG emissions by 68% over the last decade due to avoided deforestation. Practices for reducing methane will be central in determining whether net zero is attained. researchgate.net/publicationā€¦

Is there a tension between public and private benefit associated with carbon farming? Improving soil carbon reduces global warming and benefits society, but are those practices profitable? In some cases, yes, but not always. researchgate.net/publicationā€¦

Denmark to introduce carbon tax on livestock greenhouse gas emissions, rising to $105/tonne CO2 by 2035. As GHG could easily be reduced by reducing animal numbers, I do hope this tax doesnā€™t impact on food security. #NetZero edition.cnn.com/2024/06/26/bā€¦

Conventional wisdom has it that irrigation increases soil organic carbon (SOC). A recent analysis showed this is not often the case. In fact, they found that as irrigation rates increased, SOC stocks and accrual progressively decreased: sciencedirect.com/science/arā€¦
