‘Moffat Falls’ is leader in regenerative agriculture, an early adopter of a registered soil carbon project with the Emissions Reduction Fund (being the first registered soil carbon project property in NSW). The property has become one large experiment, on just how far regenerative farming practices can shift soil carbon from an already high baseline.
Moffat Falls’ was selected as a pilot property for a Natural Capital Report based off the newly established Natural Capital Standard for Australia, developed by ‘Climate Friendly’ in consultation with leading academics and organisations working in the natural capital space. Our farm also participated in one of the first trials in measuring on-farm emissions, with the results being fed into our natural capital report as seen below.
Because we are considered “first adopters” in all areas of regenerative agriculture, carbon farming, natural capital and emissions reduction, university students attend field days, conduct their research and complete assignments utilising our family farm.
Snapshot from the Moffat Falls Natural Capital Report, which showcases some of the indicators used for assessing the state of natural capital on the farm relevant to the bio-region’s potential. These metrics cover grasses and soils, water, trees and shrubs, inputs and production, and fauna (not yet measured in this instance).
