Recognition is great. Reward is better.
Good news travels: Australia’s sustainability story is getting noticed. That’s encouraging – if we keep doing the work that makes it bankable on farm. The 2025 National Carbon Farming Conference and Expo will walk you through the four key things producers need to focus on to make the most of the carbon opportunity:
Soil-first shifts that build function and resilience
Credible emissions reductions backed by evidence
Measurement that stands up: verified, traceable, defensible
Market alignment to create the claims buyers will actually reward
Across three days, you’ll hear from producers, scientists, market voices and policy specialists from across the agri sector. We have a packed Soil Carbon Day, practical measurement and verification sessions, a look at natural capital opportunities and a deep dive into the export demand.
And at the end of it all, you’ll have clarity, momentum and the confidence you need to act immediately.
Make it stand out
Farmer Spotlight: Richard Post, Glenavon Angus
Guyra producer Richard Post brings a business-minded approach to soil carbon, blending sixth-generation Angus breeding with data-driven management on his 3,000-hectare property, Glenavon Angus. Alongside his wife Prue, Richard runs around 600 stud and 1,200 commercial females, holds annual on-farm bull and female sales and benchmarks each enterprise annually with Agrista to keep performance and profitability front of mind.
When drought hit in 2019–20, Richard began exploring soil carbon as part of a broader plan to rebuild pastures and resilience. With a finance background, he saw the opportunity through both a business and environmental lens. He registered and baselined his project in 2022 and has since introduced intensive rotational grazing, upgraded water systems across 30–40 kilometres of new pipelines and troughs and sown multi-species pastures to lift productivity and soil function.
Richard says the carbon space can be complex, but the learning curve has been invaluable. His message to farmers: start by knowing your baseline, test what works in your system and be prepared to adapt.
Richard will join other producers at the 2025 National Carbon Farming Conference and Expo to share real-world insights into what it takes to make carbon projects work as part of a profitable, progressive business.
