Carbon and your ag business — Julia Creek

Topics that will be discussed:

• What does carbon mean for you and why is it important?
• The fundamentals of carbon, tailored to your region and commodity, focused on facts and free from media or political spin.
• Carbon in your property and business: how it works & how to change it — vegetation, soil, energy and livestock.
• Supply chains and governments — opportunities, risks, expectations.
• Carbon calculators and how to use them.
• How to prepare yourself and identify carbon advisors trying to sell you a lemon.
• Pulling it all together for your business.

Everyone is welcome.

We will be working through carbon calculators – BRING YOUR LAPTOP OR TABLET so you can interact with the calculator
