AGRICULTURE
In Australia, agriculture is responsible for around 13% of total GHG emissions. Australia ranks among the top three countries with the highest agricultural emission per capita.
Some of the primary sources of GHG emissions from agriculture in Australia include agricultural soil, manure management, liming and urea application and the biggest culprit, livestock methane production (from flatulence and eructation). It’s also important to note that GHG produced by livestock such as methane, and nitrous oxide from soil and fertiliser application, are 25 times and 289 times more damaging than carbon, respectively.

In addition, the agricultural supply chain contributes a significant share of emissions linked directly to food production. This includes transport, packaging, retail and other energy input directly associated with producing, processing and shipping food. Likewise, food wastage, due to supply chain losses and consumer wastage, releases approximately 3.3 billion tones of CO2 into the atmosphere annually.
While agriculture remains an essential industry that must continue to thrive, there is no denying its significant emission contributions and wide-reaching effect on the environment (land damage, water usage, energy consumption, etc.). An increased understanding of carbon emissions and the preservation of environment are driving the requirement for reduced GHG emissions in the agricultural industry.
Given Australia’s enormous agricultural production and associated emissions, organisations looking to export product will ultimately need to comply with the destinations agricultural carbon emission guidelines. Australian agricultural organisations will not be excluded and need to start their greenhouse gas reduction and ultimately net zero journey. Also local buyers, community, stakeholders and consumers are increasingly aware and concerned about food providence, and it makes sense to align with local customer expectations. Since the agricultural industry is already identified as a large emitter, emission regulations are almost inevitable.
Understanding and measuring your organisation‘s carbon footprint is step one. Having accurate information clears the way for pragmatic discussions around reducing business risk and developing an incremental plan to reduce carbon emissions.
On the flip side of carbon emissions, the agriculture sector is poised to develop, commercialise and benefit from emerging carbon capture technologies and processes. Although early days carbon sequestration through soil, general land improvement and reforestation offer the agriculture sector and farmers the opportunity to develop and onsell carbon credits, generating alternative revenue streams.
Organisations that begin to build a clear roadmap towards reducing their carbon emissions can ensure that they remain ahead of the curve, comply with government’s impending GHG emission regulations and can demonstrate their sustainability plans to their stakeholders. Sustainable, net zero products and companies can leverage their environmental position to create unique offerings, service niche opportunities, generate new revenue streams and offer premium priced products.
Carbon Offset Advisory can help you understand net zero carbon, measure and advise on your emissions reduction roadmap. We help agricultural companies build practical strategies to develop carbon neutral products through innovation, technology and software tools, offsetting, supply chain decarbonisation and education.
By making steady incremental reductions in your carbon emissions, you control risk and strategically position your company to manage any emerging emission regulations.
To accomplish this goal, we focus on the following key areas:
- Commit, Measure, and Act.
- Empowering you with the relevant data to make informed decisions.
- Decarbonising your supply chain.
- Adopting environmental performance and industry leadership as positive marketing tools to grow your business.
- Develop strategic plans to minimise cost and disruption.
At Carbon Offset Advisory, our carbon neutral and sustainable solutions will help you significantly reduce your carbon footprint, position your company at the forefront of climate awareness, and ultimately make you a model NET-ZERO CARBON agricultural company.
