There is an untapped potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from millions of Australian farm dams. This project aims to quantify the nation-wide carbon footprint of farm dams and develop low-cost strategies for “greener” practices. Contributing to Australia’s commitment to tackle climate change, this project aspires to empower farmers to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of their farm dams. It will also inform on the economic viability of alternative management strategies for mitigating farm dam emissions and provide recommendations for financial incentives. This project should enhance the capacity of Australia to meet its carbon reduction targets and mitigate anthropogenic climate change.

减少澳大利亚数百万座农业大坝的温室气体排放还有尚未开发的潜力。该项目旨在量化全国范围内农场大坝的碳足迹，并为“更绿色”的实践制定低成本战略。该项目为澳大利亚应对气候变化的承诺做出了贡献，该项目渴望让农民能够显著减少他们农场大坝的碳足迹。它还将介绍减少农场大坝排放的替代管理战略的经济可行性，并就财政奖励提出建议。该项目应加强澳大利亚实现其碳减排目标和减缓人为气候变化的能力。
