Atlas LIVE: What you need to know before starting a Soil Carbon Project

As a livestock producer in Australia, you prioritise the health of your land and the profitability of your core business. Soil carbon projects have emerged as a promising solution that addresses both these crucial aspects, offering a sustainable pathway to improve land conditions and increase productivity.

If you've been contemplating implementing a soil carbon project on your farm, we have great news for you. Atlas Carbon is hosting the next Atlas LIVE webinar on June 23, 2023 to discuss the process and benefits of implementing soil carbon projects for livestock producers.

What to expect:

Atlas Carbon will also highlight its unique Blueprint Program, which provides producers with a 6-month assessment period to determine if they are a good fit for a soil carbon project. This program gives producers the time and information they need to make a decision about whether a soil carbon project is right for them.  

Benefits of Soil Carbon Projects for Livestock Producers

Soil carbon projects bring numerous benefits to livestock producers in Australia, that may include:

• Increased profitability: Soil carbon projects can generate income for producers through carbon offset payments. This income can be used to invest in infrastructure, new technologies or practices that can further improve land conditions and profitability.  

• Improved land conditions: Soil carbon projects can help to improve soil health and fertility, which can lead to increased pasture yields and livestock productivity.

• Reduced erosion risk: Higher soil carbon levels help mitigate erosion by improving groundcover, soil structure, water retention, and reducing surface runoff. This ensures the longevity of your land and minimizes environmental damage.

• Enhanced productivity: Healthier pastures and improved forage quality translate into better livestock performance. Your animals will thrive on nutrient-rich grazing areas, resulting in increased weight gains and higher market prices.

• Reduced environmental impact: Soil carbon projects can help to store greenhouse gases, and contribute to climate change mitigation.

Atlas Carbon's Blueprint Program

At Atlas Carbon, we understand that embarking on a soil carbon project is a significant decision that requires careful consideration. That's why we take a tiered approach to ensure the success of your project. Atlas Carbon's Blueprint Program is a unique 6-month assessment period that helps producers determine if they are a good fit for a soil carbon project.

During the Blueprint Program, producers will work with Atlas Carbon to assess their land conditions, develop a soil carbon management plan, and identify potential carbon offset markets. The Blueprint Program gives producers the time they need to make an informed decision about whether or not to participate in a soil carbon project. It also helps producers to develop a plan for implementing a soil carbon project that is tailored to their specific needs and goals.
