A grazing or Farming for Profit course has the highest return on any education $ you will ever spend. RCS provides across the board education tools and backup that, without doubt helps agricultural businesses to become more profitable, sustainable and better prepared to bounce back after droughts, downturns and floods. Brian
Best well-rounded course. Honestly the best well-rounded course I have ever taken. I loved how immersive it was to make us really zone in on our businesses. It made me look at our numbers with different eyes and consider all aspects of our grazing business, not just tax and cashflow.

Carbon EDGE — Toowoomba
2024-10-30 - 2024-10-31 | Toowoomba Showground, Glenvale Road, Toowoomba, Qld, 4350, Australia
ConnectAg, and Meat & Livestock Australia are excited to be bringing Carbon EDGE to Toowoomba, 30-31 October 2024.
The Carbon EDGE workshop is helping provide red meat producers with an independent perspective for their own operations on carbon accounting, their emissions intensity as well as emissions reduction technologies, insetting, offsetting and more.
ConnectAg will support you over the course to make sense of this dynamic topic and get clarity on realistic options for your operation. The workshop will also help put into focus considerations for sustainability reporting for industry and practical steps to determine how to navigate emerging risks and opportunities.
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.

Who should attend Carbon EDGE?
The program is for red meat producers who are looking to build on their understanding of carbon. The program aims to take participants from understanding to action planning. It is also suitable for advisors and other service providers.
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 most out of the program. This includes the eLearning modules available on MLA’s Toolbox and a carbon account. Your workshop deliverers will be in touch to guide you through this process.
Cost
$1000 + GST (discounted rom $1750 + GST)
