Abstract
Farming systems produce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, primarily in the form of methane (mostly caused by animal digestion and respiration) and nitrous oxide (mostly from fertilisers).
The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) recommend undertaking a basic carbon account to understand and explore options to reduce your emissions and consider which approaches will fit into your business plan. A baseline carbon account for your farm will give the total GHG emissions for the farm and the carbon intensity of your products such as wool, meat and grain.
