Methane and Global Warming Potential (GWP): What’s the latest and why it matters to the livestock industry.

As Australia marks the one-year anniversary of signing the Global Methane Pledge we explore the industry’s increasing focus on Global Warming Potential (GWP) reporting metrics.

GWP* and GWP100 – what do they actually mean? Why is industry looking at a dual reporting metric for methane emissions and how would it impact agriculture policy? Join us for an in-depth conversation with: Professor of Sustainable Agriculture, Richard Eckard, from the University of Melbourne and Director of the Primary Industries Climate Challenges Centre, and
Professor Mark Howden, Director of the Institute for Climate, Energy & Disaster Solutions at the Australian National University and Vice Chair of the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

In this webinar we discuss all things methane, metrics, the state of play for Australian methane levels, how much we need to reduce them by, and by when – with plenty of time for Q+As.

Do you need to know more about the El Nino alert and what it will mean for your farm?

Want to find out which indicators you should use for forecasting and what you can be doing now to prepare your farm for the coming conditions?

In this webinar you'll hear from Bureau of Meteorology Senior Climatologist Catherine Ganter, who will take a deep dive to explain why the BOM has declared an El Nino alert and what it will mean for weather patterns across Australia. Catherine will also discuss what indicators farmers should be using for weather and long-range forecasting.

You will also hear from Graeme Hand, a Holistic Management Certified Educator, who will talk us through holistic decision-making processes you can use to prepare your farm for an El Nino.

Fiona Best, CEO of Birchip Cropping Group, will then talk through strategies they are developing to make cropping operations more resilient to drought.
