Periodic Review of the Soil Organic Carbon Method 2021 April

The NFF understands that this Periodic Review will inform the development of the proposed Integrated Farm and Land Management (IFLM) Method. While this is supported, all methodology reviews, not just those focussed on soils, should contribute to the IFLM’s design to ensure it reflects the full suite of agricultural practices. The IFLM was originally promised and intended to operate as a broad, whole-of-farm framework that integrates a wide range of agricultural activities under a single methodology. It was never intended to be restricted to specific land types or emissions sources. The Department and ERAC must ensure this core vision is upheld and not undermined by disconnected decision-making processes.
