Webinar: Working Towards Net Zero Agriculture
2025-11-13 12:00 - 13:00
Farmers face real challenges and opportunities in reducing emissions while staying productive.
Join us for a practical webinar where you’ll learn:
How the Pathfinder tool (developed by CSIRO + Clean Energy Finance Council) works and what it can do for your farm – from fertiliser optimisation to methane-reducing pasture species.
According to CSIRO: Pathfinder is a practical, evidence-based resource detailing both known and emerging methods to reduce on-farm emissions across broadacre and livestock. It equips farmers with support and strategies to adopt lower-emissions options, and adjust activities that are essential to on-farm practice, including:

Variable rate (VR) technologies:optimising fertiliser and lime application by combining paddock spatial variability with GPS technology and VR input controllers to improve yield, soil quality and reduce costs
Pasture rejuvenation: using certain legume and herb species, which can help reduce livestock methane emissions, and fertility as well as improve forage quality, feed efficiency and soil condition
Permanent plantings: sequestering carbon while providing windbreaks, shade and shelter for livestock, and habitat for native animals and birds
Feed supplements:Incorporating methane-reducing feed additives, such as asparagopsis seaweed, to lower livestock methane emissions while maintaining animal health and productivity.
How to access green and sustainable finance options to implement climate-smart practices on farm.
