How Does Carbon Farming Impact Farmers?
Carbon farming refers to a set of agricultural practices that are specifically designed to capture and store carbon in the soil and vegetation, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
These credits can be sold in carbon markets to companies looking to offset their emissions. Carbon farming practices often include regenerative grazing, reduced tillage, cover cropping, and reforestation. At Atlas Carbon, we help farmers implement these sustainable methods and maximise their carbon credit potential.
For farmers, carbon farming has the dual impact of improving land health while generating additional income. Implementing carbon farming practices can enhance soil fertility, increase water retention, and boost pasture productivity, leading to long-term benefits for crop and livestock production.
- Increased Farm Revenue: Carbon farming generates carbon credits, which can be sold in the carbon market, providing an additional and stable source of income for your farm.
- Improved Soil Health: Sustainable land management practices used in carbon farming, such as cover cropping and regenerative grazing, lead to healthier soils with better structure, fertility, and water retention.
- Contributing to Climate Solutions: By capturing and storing carbon, farmers are helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, playing a vital role in Australia’s efforts to combat climate change.
- Long-Term Farm Sustainability: Carbon farming practices not only help capture carbon but also contribute to overall farm resilience, ensuring long-term productivity and profitability.

What Graziers Are Saying
You should go into soil carbon improvement because of how it drives you as a manager to improve your property. If we can be financially rewarded for it, then that's fantastic, and Atlas Carbon are helping us get there.
We did extensive research on soil carbon partners for our farming business. Atlas Carbon was a standout in terms of process, data-driven software and an experienced team who truly understand farming and the diversity of climate we operate in.
Atlas Carbon was able to make the complex carbon market easier to navigate with a realistic pricing structure. We want to set up a legacy for our next generation that ensures a more carbon neutral and sustainable future. We feel excited for the future with Atlas Carbon as our partner.
When we looked at a carbon project we weren’t interested in a sales pitch. We wanted to know what we had to do to maximise this opportunity to build carbon profitably. Atlas Carbon offered us a deep dive into the “how” of a carbon project.
Our process is tried and tested
When you do a project with Atlas Carbon, you are benefitting from the knowledge of expert agronomists and graziers who have decades of experience honing tried and tested approaches in building soil carbon through grazing management.
