The Carbon Farm Network

The Carbon Farm has already developed a significant network of partners and collaborators, and  the coordinated strength of this network adds huge value.

CarbonLink

Carbon Link was born out of the need to support farmers to earn income by improving their soil.

Carbon LinkThe opportunity farmers have in the emerging carbon market is at an exciting stage and Carbon Link has developed systems that provide a turnkey process for landholders to enter the carbon market.

Carbon Link, a private Australian company owned by graziers, scientists and engineers, is focusing on the role of soil in sequestering carbon from the atmosphere to offset our emissions and improve the resilience of the agricultural sector.

NutriTech Solutions

Nutri-Tech SolutionsNutriTech Solutions (NTS) is committed to improving profitability for farmers. Food production is the most important of all professions and farmers must be nurtured, protected and supported in every way. Farming needs to be more profitable, more sustainable and more fun and we are passionately producing education, strategies and inputs to help achieve these goals.

Our secondary goal is to improve soil health, plant health, human health and, more recently, this mission has been extended to include planetary health (in relation to global warming). The thin veil of topsoil that grows our food is fast diminishing, and there is an urgent need for soil restoration initiatives. The entire NTS team is driven to improve the quality of the food that sustains us all, to reduce the chemical contamination of that food and, most importantly, to restore soil health and associated carbon sequestration across the globe.
