The Australian government has unveiled a draft of the Integrated Farm and Land Management (IFLM) method, enabling farmers to generate Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) by integrating tree plantations into less productive areas and regenerating native forests. This approach not only promotes ecological diversity but also offers potential revenue ranging from $500 to $2,500 per hectare over 25 years, with experts suggesting that carbon credits could match or exceed earnings from livestock. Farmers can initiate projects now to benefit from early payments as the method is finalized later this year.
