            <inserted>This oversubscribed project was delivered in partnership with AgExcellence Alliance and other local partners including landscape boards and worked one-on-one with 64 producers across the state to develop on-farm carbon footprints and workshop emission reduction strategies. Guides to carbon footprint assessment for three South Australian production systems (cropping, livestock and viticulture) and four case studies were also developed to assist producers. Carbon footprints are a key starting point and provide essential information for producers to determine what actions are appropriate to reduce emissions and outline pathways to carbon neutrality.</inserted>

The liquid fertiliser developed will also contribute to abatement of carbon in farms where the product will be utilised.</inserted>
