Evaluation of cooperative models under a carbon market as a method of increased engagement and uptake by producers, including exploring new or augmented approaches.
Current research has focused on carbon practices at a national and regional level, but not at a local level to which individual farmers would likely relate. To better understand these factors, this project has a deliberate focus on understanding the needs and concerns of individual farmers within the area of Southern Queensland, and incorporating them into a commercial model for Regional Councils to become involved as market aggregators. This project will investigate whether Regional Councils in Southern Queensland, as potential market aggregators, who act as intermediaries between farmers and the carbon market, can i) improve participation in the market by small farmers, and ii) benefit farmers via increased financial viability.
