A warming climate will drive up food prices, but we can limit the impacts if we act decisively.
Farmers are reducing methane, and Meat & Livestock Australia has a carbon neutral by 2030 goal, but the kicker is we really need policy that brings an end to burning fossil fuels.

ABC NEWS: Tassie farmer Rob McCreath is one of a growing group of farmers who have ditched diesel where they can by adopting electric cars, bikes, side-by-sides and autonomous equipment.
We know farmers want to reduce emissions - Farmers for Climate Action sees a role for government to provide support for farmers by investing in emissions reduction technologies and initiatives, such as an instant tax asset write-off for renewable energy or on-farm energy storage.

We’re at @agfesttas this week 👋🏼
Come and say g’day - our volunteers would love to chat about farm electric vehicles, climate smart farming, and more!
NEW PODCAST: In this episode of Over the Fence, we are joined by Prof Richard Eckard - a world authority on sustainable agriculture with a focus on carbon neutral ag and adaptation.
In this conversation, Fiona and Cam asked Richard about the opportunities out there for farmers as they look to reduce emissions on farm, as well as what’s just around the corner.

Beers for climate action!! We’re beyond thrilled to be partnering with @younghenrys @groundswellgiving and the many venues across Sydney within @solotel_group throughout May. For every delicious Newtowner pint sold in participating pubs, $1 will be donated to Farmers for Climate Action! Legends. Shout out to Pete who drove four hours from his sheep and crop farm in Hardern to high five the team for this project 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
ABC News has shared the stories of a number of cattle farmers leading the way on climate-smart farming - it`s a great read!
Click the link in our bio to read the article. 🔗
Jessica and Thomas Murray are part of a multigenerational family-run property with Tom`s parents and brother at Trilby Station in far western NSW. They graze livestock for meat and fibre production, plus additional carbon projects and a farm stay tourism venture.
"We are responding to and preparing for extreme weather more and more often. It permeates into our short and long term decision making, and dictates priorities. In contrast the opportunities for involvement in the carbon market, sustainable practices and renewable energy investment have had positive impacts on the business, its diversification and survivability."
Read Jess`s full profile via the link in our bio - click through to our Farmer in Focus series 🔗
Fiona Marshall and her family are farmers from Mulwala in NSW. They farm 4000Ha, mainly grain growing with a prime lamb enterprise.
Fiona is part of our Climate Smart Farming Scholarship group, sharing tools and knowledge to inform her farming enterprise for a prosperous and sustainable future.
Fiona`s profile is featured in our Farmer in Focus series - follow the link in our bio to read more 🌾
We had such a great night in Mulwala for our final Electrifying Agriculture event in Vic. It was great to check out some of the electric farm vehicles and equipment farmers brought with them. Thanks to our partners @riverine_plains and @solar_citizens for another great event.
Thank you to everyone who came along to our Electrifying Agriculture event in Euroa, co-hosted by Euroa Environment Group and @solar_citizens ! It was great to see how enthusiastic everyone was about the future of electric vehicles on farm 🚜
We had such a great time in Yackandandah talking to farmers about the future of electric vehicles on farm! It was great to see so many people in attendance. Thank you to Totally Renewable Yackandandah and @solar_citizens for a great event 🚜
Jane Kellock and her family produce sheep and grain at Farrell Flat in SA, and her profile is now up as part of our Farmer in Focus series.
Jane says: "I really want strong, forward thinking leaders speaking about the proactive adaptations that we are doing to ensure that we are world leaders in the area of sustainability – but also profitable and resilient. We will need to be future focused on our environment, our animals and our people."

Georgia Beattie is an organic mushroom farmer from Diggers Rest in Victoria. We`re stoked that she`s also part of our inaugural Climate-Smart Farming Scholarship program.
"Being the change that you want to see in the world is really going to pay dividends when we are forced to make changes that are conscious of the environment, animals, communities and people."

We are coming to Mulwala! If you`re around, please join us for a free BBQ and info night about the future of electric vehicles on farm and in the regions! We`ll have an electric ute on site and plenty of time for questions. The event is cohosted by @solar_citizens and @riverine_plains. RSVP at the link in our bio!
Caitlin McConnel and her family produce beef cattle on the family property near Toogoolawah, in Queensland, with agrivoltaics and agritourism built into their business too.
"Having grown up in the generation that was told `don’t be a farmer`, I am incredibly excited by the opportunities now available in the industry. The global pandemic and emerging awareness of climate change have really brought the attention back to agriculture as being a fundamental human need, and my hope is that consumers, businesses, and governments will continue to embrace the industry as a solution to long-term food security, and a key component of any plan to achieve net zero."

Love this. The truth is farmers will be amongst the first hit by climate change. They should be supported in upskilling in new techniques and new green technologies. So they can continue to provide for the community. #empowerment
With the recent price offerings for milk solids, it seems the consumers will pay more and the farmers will get less
If people can afford million dollar homes and complain about food prices. There's something realy wrong with the whole country. We have overseas super funds buying up Australian family farms pushing land prices over what they are worth and not letting young people a chance to own their own farm. This is reducing the work force in rural areas our towns are dying because of all the empty house left to fall down. To reduce Carbon is simply growing trees for shelter and wind breaks that's been cleared this then has a twofold effect reducing wind drying out our soils and slowing storms as they move across the paddocks and this increases rainfall and this is not rocket science.
The Dutch Farmers know where’s it at. Unlike farmers for climate action who really don’t know what they are actually asking for www.thefp.com/p/the-revolt-of-the-dutch-farmers

Bloody dreamers, Privileged people in the city with no idea. Beer made and transported by fossil fuel, cooled by coal, lights by coal. Would be bloody cold & dark in NSW tonight without fossil fuels.

With farmers forced to combat the country’s increasingly unstable weather, the cost of raising animals for your plate is set to increase.

News of increased payments to Qld farmers hosting transmission is a good step forward. We note the key to these vital transmission projects is truly listening to farmers and rural communities, even when good compensation amounts are paid.
Queensland sweetens landowner payments to accelerate energy transition
Queensland will offer an average $300,000 per kilometre to get landowner approval for putting up transmission lines.
