Farm smarter, not harder: new science-driven tool for net zero farming
February 6, 2025 | CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization) |
Australia’s “Towards Net Zero Agriculture Pathfinder Manual,” developed by CSIRO and the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC), offers farmers practical, science-driven strategies to reduce emissions and access green finance. The manual supports emission-reduction practices that qualify for discounted CEFC-backed loans, promoting both environmental and financial benefits. It emphasizes collaboration across science, finance, and policy to overcome adoption barriers, such as high costs, uncertain returns, and upfront investments. By aligning research, market mechanisms, and regulatory safeguards, the initiative aims to scale low-emission technologies across agriculture. This marks a crucial step toward a resilient, net-zero farming future, empowering farmers with tools tailored to their systems and sustainability goals.
