Australian Farm Institute 2019 Roundtable
Session: What support is needed to progress implementation of ecosystem services?
Facilitator: AFI Chair, Andrew Spencer
Guest speaker: Jock Whittle, Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets (MIRA) & CEO Paraway Pastoral Company
Presentation summary:
Ag has a role to play in a low carbon future, Jock Whittle told the AFI Roundtable, and must find ways to halve emissions by 2050 yet increase food calorie production by 60% in the same period. Measurement is a challenge the industry needs to address, and MIRA are working with CSIRO to develop an emissions efficiency calculation tool called FarmPrint to benchmark farm emissions and environmental profiles such as water usage and soil health.
