QCAR has forged a partnership with Nutrien Ag Solutions to offer our members an invaluable opportunity: a FREE Farm Emissions Analysis (for a limited time). This initiative provides a window into the intricate world of your farming carbon footprint.

In the broader context of the Australian agricultural landscape, where greenhouse gas emissions contribute roughly 14% of the nation’s total output, QCAR is taking proactive steps to address environmental concerns. This collaborative effort with Nutrien Ag Solutions aligns with a shared commitment to reduce the industry’s environmental impact.

In light of the COP21 Paris Agreement and the national emission reduction target of achieving net-zero by 2050, there’s a growing push for transparency regarding the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Australian industries and businesses. QCAR is actively pursuing a net-zero target by 2030.

The increasing demand in the market is playing a crucial role in driving the need for transparency and reduction of emissions. Consumer preferences and the expectations of key stakeholders are shifting towards products and practices with a verifiably low GHG footprint.

Australian farmers stand to benefit from both short and long-term opportunities if they position themselves to deliver such products. The initial step in this journey is to comprehend the emissions linked to their farm businesses.

A Farm Emissions Report allows farmers to visualise the areas where emissions occur in their production system, empowering them to make informed decisions for practice changes to reduce future emissions. It simply serves as a tool to provide farmers with insights into areas where improvements can be made.

The offer is available for a limited time and would recommend members to contact our office on 4783 2111, if you are contemplating receiving an analysis. Call us for more information.

The Farm Emissions Report journey was both educational and straightforward.

HERBERT

QCAR’s members are reaping direct benefits from the impactful work from our dedicated team and AgForce North.

The rat baiting trial in the Herbert, spearheaded by Panikos Spyrou, Ruth Thompson, Lawrence DiBella and in collaboration with Nick Dametto MP, SRA, and other partners, is a prime example of how collective efforts are making a tangible difference for our members.

This initiative not only addresses immediate challenges but also contributes to the long-term prosperity of growers in the Herbert region. Grateful for partnerships that deliver real solutions!
