Coventry Soil Carbon Project

Coventry Soil Carbon Project is a soil carbon project located in the Liverpool Plains region, approximately 50km south of Tamworth in New South Wales. Registered in August 2024, the project covers a total area of 2,249.80 hectares. The Liverpool Plains is widely regarded as prime agricultural land and a national food bowl, with the region predominantly used for intensive cropping and livestock grazing. The environment typically features a temperate climate with moderate, albeit variable, rainfall and is renowned for its highly fertile cracking clay and rich black soils.

The project operates under the Estimation of Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration using Measurement and Models (2021) methodology. Soil carbon projects involve implementing new or materially different agricultural management practices to increase the volume of carbon stored in the soil, which is then verified through rigorous soil sampling or modelling over an elected permanence period. To achieve this, the Coventry Soil Carbon Project increases carbon in the agricultural system by altering the stocking rate, duration, and intensity of livestock grazing. These activities are specifically designed to promote continuous soil vegetation cover and improve overall soil health.

An interesting fact about this project is the involvement of its proponent, Atlas Agri Solutions Pty Ltd. Atlas Ag is an agricultural technology company known for developing digital livestock and grazing management software, most notably the MaiaGrazing platform. This technological backing directly supports the project's focus on optimising grazing strategies to achieve carbon sequestration. Additionally, registry notes indicate that the project underwent a variation on June 4, 2025, where specific areas previously listed under the project were removed from the project area.
