We are aware that conversations about participating in carbon sequestration on farm can be quite daunting to understand where to start. We can support farmer\u2019s efforts towards the long-term sustainability of their enterprises with an introduction to carbon smart farming in our workshops early next year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSubsequent workshops will be able to drill down on the topics of most interest to land managers later in 2025,\u201d said Edel.<\/p>\n<p>The introductory workshops are being held around the region \u2013 Bordertown, Kingston, Naracoorte, Millicent and Mount Gambier.
