2016-07-12 - Item 12 - Att 1 - Agriculture and Agricultural Land in Noosa Shire

The commonwealth government administers a Carbon Farming Initiative that allows farmers or
landowners to earn carbon credits by storing carbon or reducing greenhouse gas emissions on
their land. They may do this by reducing livestock emissions, increasing efficiency of fertiliser use,
enhancing carbon in agricultural soil or storing carbon through revegetation and reforestation.

For cleared properties within Noosa Shire such as previous dairy pastures this may be quite a
popular option providing funding continues.
