Coming back from Beef Australia it is clear that the industry continues to innovate, grow and offer abundant opportunities for those who live and work in agriculture. In the area of farm production economics many producers business focus has evolved beyond the traditional levers of capital appreciation and operating returns. Today, there is a growing recognition of the significance of natural capital, encompassing elements such as soil carbon, environmental plantings, biodiversity, and renewables. This paradigm shift will underscore a fundamental change in how we perceive agricultural economic contributions, emphasizing the vital role that sustainable practices and the preservation of our natural resources play in driving long-term prosperity and growth for landowners. It was a great conversation with Jackson Hewett about Impact Ag Partners, our industry and natural capital.

Maree Adshead, CEO of Eco-Markets Australia, discussed the immense potential of the Great Barrier Reef as a natural capital investment opportunity at the recent Our Sustainable Future forum. She highlighted the critical role of market-based solutions, like the Reef Credit Scheme, in protecting this valuable asset. 🎙️ Meeting these targets has been estimated to cost $8.2 billion to achieve and will require more than grant funding or regulatory intervention alone. There is a significant role for market development around sustainable opportunities which will contribute to protecting our natural capital. Maree emphasised the need for robust methodologies and increased landholder engagement to generate an adequate supply of reef credits. Government investment in these credits would boost market confidence and help bridge the significant financing gap. 💡 Read more about Maree Adshead's insights and the other speakers' perspectives in the full Our Sustainable Future report: https://bit.ly/3xjRXr2 #NaturalCapital #SustainableInvesting #GreatBarrierReef #ReefCredits #auspol #queensland #qldpol #publicpolicy

We have 100's of these properties if you want to add to your #ESG strategy. The properties can be bought outright, leased, or as #biodiversitycredits The BASIN Protocol provides options to put the ecosystems in Trust providing the annual rates it would take to permanently protect them now, 5, 10, 15, or 20 years. We even have a year by year option to take them "off the chopping block" to prevent further degradation or destruction.
