'Moya Farm Carbon Project 2

Moya Farm Carbon Project 2 is a soil carbon sequestration project located in the Riverland and Murraylands region of South Australia. Based on its coordinates, it is situated roughly midway between the rural towns of Blanchetown and Waikerie, approximately 130km northeast of Adelaide. Registered on July 1, 2026, by proponent AgriProve Solutions Pty Ltd, the exact project area size is currently unlisted.

The project operates under the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative, Estimation of Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration using Measurement and Models) Methodology Determination 2021. Soil carbon projects require landholders to undertake new or materially different management activities to build soil organic carbon. The carbon stored in the soil is measured and verified over time through rigorous baseline soil core sampling, laboratory analysis, and spatial modeling to calculate the net carbon sequestered.

The climate in this region of South Australia is classified as semi-arid, experiencing relatively low average annual rainfall. Regional soils typically consist of sandy loams and calcareous earths often overlying clay subsoils. The broader landscape supports a mixture of agricultural land uses, including dryland broadacre cropping, sheep and cattle grazing, and irrigated horticulture nearer to the Murray River.

To build soil carbon within the agricultural system, the project implements practice changes by altering the stocking rate, duration, and intensity of grazing. This approach is designed to promote soil vegetation cover and improve underlying soil health. Additionally, the project involves applying nutrients to the land in the form of synthetic or non-synthetic fertilisers to directly address material soil deficiencies.

Interestingly, Moya Farm Carbon Project 2 is part of a larger, contiguous cluster of projects (Moya Farm Carbon Projects 1 through 8) registered simultaneously by AgriProve Solutions in South Australia. AgriProve is one of Australia's largest soil carbon project developers, known for using a tech-driven platform to help landholders transition to regenerative farming practices and generate Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs).
