This report discusses the future opportunities for the Australian vegetable industry to
reduce its carbon footprint. It has been written as part of a series of six discussion
papers for a workshop that will set future directions for R, D & E on greenhouse gas
emissions from the vegetable industry.
Currently there are efforts to quantify the carbon footprint of the vegetable industry,
however the focus must also turn to identifying actions available to minimises
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and reduce the carbon footprint of the vegetable
industry.
The aim of this report is to i) identify practical methods by which Australian
vegetable growers can manipulate and minimise their carbon footprint and ii) identify
potential R, D & E needs required before vegetable growers can implement these
changes.
