Final report and case studies, FarmGAS calculator
A final report of the FarmGAS calculator project has been released. The report contains the results of a number of case-study farm businesses.
“The FarmGAS Calculator has been developed to enable farm business managers to firstly gain a better understanding of the greenhouse emission implications of their farm management decisions, and also to provide a tool that will enable farmers to test a range of different farm management scenarios to gain a better understanding of potential future options.” says Mick Keogh Executive Director of the Australian Farm Institute.
The report is accessible free-of-charge here.
