Problem
Livestock farmers face challenges in understanding and implementing soil carbon projects, which require specialized knowledge of agronomy, carbon markets, and data-driven grazing management practices. Successfully integrating these projects into existing grazing operations can be complex, potentially impacting land productivity and profitability if not managed effectively.
Solution
Atlas Carbon provides a comprehensive solution for graziers to integrate soil carbon projects into their operations, offering support from initial assessment to project delivery. The company leverages agronomy and carbon expertise, combined with data and technology from MaiaGrazing, to help graziers sequester soil carbon while enhancing land productivity. Atlas Carbon's approach includes a four-stage process: discovering project potential, learning about soil health, partnering to define eligible activities and baselining, and delivering a successful project with ongoing support. By providing clear guidance, expert advice, and streamlined processes, Atlas Carbon ensures graziers can navigate the complexities of carbon markets and implement sustainable grazing practices that improve both carbon sequestration and agricultural outcomes.
Target Audience
Atlas Carbon primarily serves livestock farmers with properties of at least 800 hectares and annual rainfall of 600mm or more, who are open to making management changes to enhance soil carbon levels and intend to retain their land for the next 5 to 10 years.
