On-Farm Natural Capital and Market Readiness
On-Farm Natural Capital and Market Readiness
The On-Farm Natural Capital and Market Readiness Project aims to support farmers in northern Tasmanian to identify their natural assets, implement practical actions to improve its condition, and enhance their skills to monitor, measure and report on its improved condition. Building on previous initiatives, the project will assist farmers in northern Tasmania to access emerging carbon and biodiversity markets and adopt sustainability frameworks.
Funding is available for activities that:
- protect sensitive areas and improve landscape management practices
- support soil health through pasture diversity, and
- enable strategic management to enhance and protect on-farm natural assets.
We welcome landholders who share our passion to balance agricultural growth with sustainable land management to register their interest in the project.
Natural capital refers to the stock of natural assets such as soil, water and biodiversity on your farm.
