Carbon EDGE — Roma
2025-09-17 - 2025-09-18 | Queensland
Attending this workshop will help you learn:

key terminology and concepts relating to greenhouse gases (GHG) within the red meat industry
in-depth information on the practices to reduce and sequester GHG within a livestock grazing business
weighing up opportunities and risks associated with generating carbon credits and how they can be used to benefit livestock businesses
understanding carbon neutrality and how it aligns to your business goals
developing a carbon action plan that incorporates practical, achievable strategies to meet your objectives.

You will learn through group-based activities and tools, applying new information to your own context with snapshot the support of an expert deliverer. Every workshop will include case studies and examples for participants to learn from.
Who is the Carbon EDGE program for?
The program is for red meat producers who are looking to build on their understanding of carbon. The program will help participants move into a planning and action phase, identifying practices and technologies that could be incorporated into their business to benefit their bottom line and the environment. It is also suitable for advisors and other service providers looking to enhance their understanding of the current operating environment.
Pre-workshop preparation
The design of the Carbon EDGE workshops recognises that everyone will be at a different starting point when it comes to carbon. However, it is highly recommended that participants complete pre-work before attending to get the best out of the program. This includes the eLearning modules available on MLA’s Toolbox and a carbon account. Your workshop deliverer will be in touch to guide you through this process.

MLA Sustainability series: Modelling soil carbon in grazing lands with Agrimix
2025-09-17 18:30 - 19:30 | Online, Australia
Flux towers, operated by Agrimix, measure carbon exchange from soil to the atmosphere. The results show a novel technology that could be used to reduce cost of soil carbon measurement for management purposes or carbon credit schemes.
This project was born when Agrimix director, Nick Kempe, started asking “how much carbon can Progardes®desmanthus, a deep tap rooted, nitrogen-fixing legume, actually sequester?”. We then realised there was no reliable, low-cost way to find out the answer!
Agrimix teamed up with renowned soil scientists Professor Peter Grace and Professor David Rowlings and commissioned a major scientific research study into eddy covariance flux tower technology in collaboration with QUT, with support from leading Australian beef producers.
This project is part of Meat & Livestock Australia’s Carbon Storage Partnership and the Australian Government’s National Soil Carbon Innovation Challenge.
Speakers:
Zac Geldof – Principal Agronomist, Agrimix
Chloe Kempe, Research Program Manager, Agrimix
Date and time: 17 September at 6:30pm AEST (7:30pm AEDT)

HerdFlow® - high-level livestock inventory management for the extensive pastoral industry
2025-09-30 12:30 - 13:30 | Online, Australia
Not having accurate and reconciled herd data is one of the biggest challenges we have observed in the Australian beef industry. Getting accurate numbers in the paddock is difficult enough, but beyond that, there are additional challenges in accurately recording, reconciling, and using this data. This results in a significant bottleneck in understanding and improving herd performance at a herd and industry level.
In addition, the lack of an industry standard or consistent language for categorising livestock classes and/or age groups has contributed to and compounded the problem of inaccurate herd records. This has been addressed with the Australian Herd Classification Guidelines.
In this BeefConnect webinar, join Harry Evans (Bush Agribusiness) when he discusses how these guidelines underpin the classification of animals within the HerdFlow® platform, and outlines how:

HerdFlow captures, reconciles and reports on animal movements within and between business units, locations and enterprises. It can accommodate standalone single enterprise businesses through to large integrated companies, with multiple business units, enterprises and locations.
HerdFlow calculates and reports on kilograms produced, animal units carried, herd inventory values, herd inventory change, herd gross profit, reproductive rate and mortality. Herd emissions are calculated within the report using industry standard calculations.
How budgeted herd data can be entered into, and reported on, within the platform as well as actual.
How data can be imported into the HerdFlow platform.
HerdFlow does not collect detailed herd data that existing herd software products generally do (e.g. check weights, treatments, or paddock moves) and has been developed to complement, not compete with, existing herd software products.

HerdFlow® is the high-level livestock inventory management platform for the extensive pastoral industry that will allow you to assess your herd performance against industry benchmarks using a standardised set of measures.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

It is also suitable for advisors and other service providers looking to enhance their understanding of the current operating environment.
Pre-workshop preparation
The design of the Carbon EDGE workshops recognises that everyone will be at a different starting point when it comes to carbon. However, it is highly recommended that participants complete pre-work before attending to get the best out of the program. This includes the eLearning modules available on MLA’s Toolbox and a carbon account. Your workshop deliverer will be in touch to guide you through this process.
