Each day, farmer Roger Sendall carefully considers the environmental impact of his decisions on his 6,500-hectare farm in northwestern New South Wales (NSW). From reducing chemical use to determining grazing areas for his livestock, Sendall prioritizes practices that promote both profitability and sustainability. One of these practices is carbon farming, which has significantly increased the resilience of his land during droughts. By adjusting the number of sheep on his property before the onset of severe drought conditions, Sendall was able to mitigate the impacts and ensure the survival of his farm. Carbon farming involves implementing techniques that increase carbon storage in soil and vegetation or reduce greenhouse gas emissions from livestock and vegetation. Through his dedication, Sendall has developed expertise in carbon farming, which has made him more resilient to droughts and has improved the overall health of his farm. The positive effects of carbon farming on drought resilience have been supported by recent research conducted by Charles Sturt University (CSU). The study found that three-quarters of farmers who practice carbon farming reported increased preparedness for droughts and an additional source of revenue. This survey also established a link between carbon farming and improved regrowth of grass and biodiversity on farms following dry seasons. While carbon farming provides an extra income stream through the sale of Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs), it does require a financial investment. However, farmers have reported that this additional revenue allows them to destock more quickly during droughts, knowing that they can easily restock in the future. The research conducted by CSU was commissioned by Climate Friendly, a carbon farming provider. This survey comes at a crucial time, as the Bureau of Meteorology has issued warnings of a 70 percent likelihood of an El Nino weather event in 2023, which could result in drier conditions in eastern Australia. In response to the growing concern about greenhouse gas emissions in the agricultural sector, the Clean Energy Finance Corporation has recently announced a $50 million investment in Wilga Farming, an agricultural investment vehicle focusing on sustainable farming and carbon sequestration. This investment aims to address the fact that agriculture is responsible for over 15 percent of Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions.
