Victorian farm businesses are getting on with the job of growing more food and fibre, while dealing with changeable seasons and weather patterns. 

We also know that more attention is being paid to the carbon and emissions performance of our agricultural industries and farms.

In this webinar, Agriculture Victoria's climate team will share some of the carbon and emissions tools and resources they have developed to support the farming communities of Victoria to make sense of carbon and emissions on farm.
