A newly released report by Queensland Government economists highlights how graziers can engage with environmental market schemes such as the Australian Carbon Credit Units, Reef Credit, Land Restoration Fund, Nature Repair Market, and Cassowary Credit schemes.

These initiatives offer pathways to diversify income and address productivity challenges, while simultaneously supporting environmental restoration, enhancing climate resilience, and protecting the Great Barrier Reef ecosystem. By understanding the supply and demand for environmental market credits, producers can position themselves to benefit from emerging trends.

The report also explores strategies to make projects financially viable, including credit stacking, integrating projects with primary production, and targeting marginal land to minimise opportunity costs.

Environmental markets represent a new pathway for Queensland’s agriculture sector to grow sustainably. To learn more, access the full report and discover how these schemes could work for you. Environmental markets for Queensland graziers
