Louisa Kiely
Louisa Kiely, B.Ag.Ec, Director of Carbon Management Services, has been a driving force in Australia’s carbon farming movement for nearly two decades.
A trained agricultural economist and former woolgrower, Louisa co-founded the Carbon Coalition Against Global Warming in 2006 and later helped establish Carbon Farmers of Australia (CFA). As a leader in the space, she championed farmers’ rights to earn income from the carbon they grow in soils, trees, and through on-farm emissions reductions.
During her time as Director of CFA, Louisa:
Advocated nationally and internationally for farmer access to carbon markets
Organised and hosted the world’s first Carbon Farming Conference in 2007, with ten successful editions held through 2022
Helped deliver Australia’s first sales of soil carbon credits in 2007
Co-authored the first Carbon Farming Handbook and delivered formal training across the country
Played a key role in securing $26 million in funding for soil carbon research
Was part of the consortium that developed the first Soil Carbon Method submitted under the Carbon Farming Initiative
Participated in over 200,000 hectares of contracted carbon projects under the Emissions Reduction Fund
Held an Australian Financial Services Licence for carbon trading (2012–2023)
Co-founded Carbon Farmers of Nepal and explored market pathways for farmers in developing nations
Beyond CFA, Louisa’s career includes founding and scaling a marketing agency, growing fine Merino wool, and sitting on boards including the Regional Development Australia Orana Committee. She was recognised as runner-up in the 2008 NSW Rural Woman of the Year and has been a bridge between producers, policymakers, and scientists ever since.
Now through Carbon Management Services, Louisa continues this work with fresh momentum — helping farmers, researchers, and carbon market actors turn complexity into opportunity and strategy into action. She is also the driving force behind the Inaugural Low-Carbon Agriculture Conference & Expo, a national event bringing together producers, scientists, policymakers, and innovators to explore practical solutions for a low-emissions future on farm.
The 2025 conference builds on her long legacy of impactful, farmer-focused events — with a renewed focus on integration, clarity, and outcomes.
