About the host
Richard and Sarah Cox from Cracow Station have a 10,374 hectare property dedicated to producing high quality grass-fed beef. Since moving to Cracow in late 2003, Richard and Sarah have endeavoured to implement management principles that foster the long-term health of their business, their animals and the landscape. This requires an on-going focus on rotational grazing, pasture management and improvement, strategic fencing to reduce the size of paddocks, soil rehydration through the construction of banks and ponds, increasing the number and spread of stock water points, targeted nutritional supplementation of cattle, low stress stock handling and livestock/weaner education. With a diverse range of soil, vegetation and pasture types across the property, the preservation and enhancement of biodiversity is a core focus of the Cracow Station business. Richard and Sarah firmly believe that biodiversity plays an integral role in the health and functionality of grazing systems.

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.

Over two days, you will get an in depth understanding of:

Your carbon account and emissions intensity, and how to change on-farm activities to reduce emissions
Opportunities to improve productivity while reducing on-farm emissions
Carbon sequestration options such as trees and soil carbon, and evaluating if they are right for your business
Supply chain drivers and how to future proof your market access.

Learn more in the Carbon EDGE workshop outline attached.
Producers who have completed a Carbon EDGE workshop have said the workshops:

“Really helped me to gain a better understanding of the actual accounting process and action planning to move beyond the theoretical.”
“For someone who is new to carbon, it was great information to understand in terms of the farm business.”
“Has assisted me to get started on capturing emissions and using the [carbon accounting] tools.”

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.
