Free farmer webinars highlight support and benefits for reducing emissions
A series of free statewide carbon farming webinars begin this month, aiming to equip South Australian farmers with knowledge about carbon farming and emissions reduction topics in an easy-to-understand way.
Farmers and land managers across SA are invited to attend the series of webinars, hosted by local landscape boards.
The first webinar focuses on supply chain, industry and financial perspective of emissions reporting, to be held on Tuesday 17 February from 11.30am to 12.30pm.
Delivered by the Limestone Coast Landscape Board, the webinar will bring together industry and finance experts to explain, in clear and practical terms, what emissions reporting and sustainability expectations mean for farmers — including the support, incentives and potential benefits available to landholders seeking to reduce on-farm emissions.
This webinar is designed to give farmers and land managers easy-to-understand information, real-world examples and clear context, helping them navigate emissions reporting and sustainability conversations with confidence. The session will feature two expert speakers with direct experience working alongside farmers and agribusinesses.
Daria Twist, Senior Agribusiness Manager at NAB, will outline how NAB is supporting Australian agribusinesses through the climate transition. Her presentation will focus on climate risk management and green finance solutions, highlighting practical steps and incentives that may support farmers to adopt sustainable practices and reduce emissions.
Laura Grubb, Sustainability and Engagement Specialist at Greenham Australia, will provide an industry and market perspective on carbon and sustainability. She will explore what is driving the growing focus on emissions across meat supply chains, how processors and customers are responding, and how producers can position their businesses to take advantage of emerging opportunities.
The February webinar is the first in a free, statewide Carbon Farming Webinar Series being delivered by landscape boards across South Australia as part of the Carbon Farming Outreach Program.
Running from 17 February to 8 May 2026, the series features trusted industry, finance and technical experts who break down carbon farming and emissions reduction topics in plain language, with a strong focus on practical on-farm benefits and available support.
