Landmaster Carbon Project

Landmaster Carbon Project is a soil carbon project located in the Gippsland region of Victoria, approximately 30km east of Sale. It was registered in February 2018 and covers 1,906.45 hectares.

Sequestering carbon in soils in grazing systems projects involve adopting new or altered management practices to increase the amount of organic carbon stored in agricultural soils. These projects require rigorous baseline soil core sampling and subsequent measurement to prove carbon sequestration over the project's permanence period, generating Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) for the verified atmospheric draw-down.

The Gippsland area is known for robust cattle and sheep grazing, dairy farming, and wide-scale agriculture. The region is considered a temperate environment that receives reliable, moderate-to-high rainfall. Soils across this coastal plains area are generally sandy loams and clay loams, which respond well to pasture management.

This project was set up to increase soil carbon in the grazing system by rejuvenating pastures and changing grazing patterns. Implemented by Corporate Carbon Solutions, these regenerative agriculture practices not only draw down carbon emissions but also provide significant on-farm benefits. Building soil organic carbon enhances the soil's water-holding capacity, improves drought resilience, and boosts fodder quality and quantity for the livestock grazing on the property.
