Theme five of the Carbon Initiative Program aims to increase producer engagement and alignment of activities across the agricultural value-chain in relation to efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, for example linking producer activities to those in processing, transport and retail.
Projects explore the business case for increased engagement for producers in the value chain as it relates to activities to reduce GHGE and identify practical opportunities to increase producer engagement with the value chain.
Projects include:
