Restore Country and earn carbon credits
Carbon farming can help restore Country and can also bring a range of cultural, environmental and economic outcomes, known as 'co-benefits'.
Carbon farming refers to land management activities that reduce carbon emissions by either:
- storing carbon in soil or vegetation (sequestration)
- avoiding emissions that would have otherwise gone into the atmosphere.
Carbon projects can deliver outcomes for Country, culture and community. For example, carbon projects can include important medicine plants, bush foods and habitat for totemic species.
Carbon farming can also generate carbon credits, which can then be sold for income.

Carbon on Country is an initiative of the Primary Industries Productivity and Abatement program (PIPAP). This program forms part of the NSW Net Zero Plan and focuses on supporting landholders across the state to participate in carbon abatement activities that deliver multiple benefits.
