As carbon markets, emissions reporting, and sustainability expectations continue to evolve, many producers are asking the same question:
What does carbon mean for my business, and what practical steps can I take today?
The Carbon EDGE workshop has been designed to answer exactly that.
Taking place in Kingaroy on 16–17 June 2026, this two-day program helps red meat industry participants move beyond carbon concepts and into practical planning, giving producers the knowledge and tools to identify opportunities for emissions reduction, carbon storage, and business improvement.
From Carbon Concepts to Business Action
Carbon EDGE has been developed specifically for producers who want a deeper understanding of carbon and how it relates to livestock grazing enterprises.
Rather than focusing solely on theory, the workshop helps participants explore practical, achievable strategies that can be applied within their own businesses.
Attendees will gain insight into:
- Key greenhouse gas (GHG) terminology and concepts relevant to the red meat industry
- Practical opportunities to reduce and sequester emissions within grazing businesses
- The risks and opportunities associated with carbon credits
- Carbon neutrality and how it aligns with business goals
- Developing practical carbon action plans that support both profitability and sustainability
Practical Learning for Real Businesses
The workshop uses group-based activities, case studies, and real-world examples to help participants apply new knowledge directly to their own operations.
By the end of the program, participants will have a clearer understanding of how carbon-related decisions can influence productivity, business resilience, and long-term planning.
As producer Laura Rowney shared:
“The practical activities showed how we could apply what we were learning to our own property. We’ve come away from the workshop with a list of goals for the property — data collation is one of the major ones.”
Who Should Attend?
Carbon EDGE is ideal for:
- Red meat producers looking to build on their understanding of carbon
- Producers wanting to move from learning to implementation
