MLA Sustainability series: Time controlled grazing — Webinar
2025-09-10 18:30 - 19:30 (Australia/Brisbane) | Online, Australia
Join the Meat & Livestock Australia Sustainability Webinar Series: Time-Controlled Grazing, 10 September at 6:30pm (AEST).
Time-controlled grazing (TCG) has been promoted for its potential to improve soil health, pasture productivity, and livestock performance. However, its adoption in Australia has been limited due to conflicting scientific evidence.
Research with Queensland University of Technology (QUT) compared paired paddocks under TCG and conventional grazing management, measuring for impact on soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration, nitrogen and biodiversity.
Your expert presenter will be Professor David Rowlings, Program of Sustainable Agriculture – QUT.

Carbon EDGE — Roma
2025-09-17 - 2025-09-18 | NT
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)

Adaptive grazing for better pasture and cattle production — Spyglass Beef Research Station, Basalt
2025-10-09 09:00 - 15:00 | NT
If you are interested in learning more about adaptive techniques for improving pastures and animal production in a variable climate, then don’t miss next month’s field day at Spyglass Beef Research Station, hosted by NQ Dry Tropics and the Queensland Department of Primary Industries (DPI).Get the low down on The Virtually Fencing Free long-term trial, which is testing out technology and land management techniques to improve drought resilience for North Queensland grazing enterprises.Spyglass is hosting the five-year research project, which aims to establish whether the eShepherd virtual fencing system could enable rangeland graziers to effectively implement fine-scale, adaptive grazing systems in commercial-sized beef cattle herds.The technology allows users to remotely and instantly modify digital paddock boundaries to redirect cattle without the need to muster. This makes it easier to rest overgrazed paddocks and ensure cattle use all available feed.Other presenters include Amelia Downs producer Jane Moore, and representatives from the Northern Australia Climate Program, TEKFARM and Climate Outreach Program.Click here to reserve your spot, or scan the QR code on the flyer. https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing/1462919Strictly RSVP by COB on Monday 1 October.
