Off The Land with Rob Ep 2 18 million hectares for carbon

from Off the Land with Rob · host Rob from Farming and Outdoors

Australia’s own government modelling shows that to hit net zero, we’re on track to lock up **18 million hectares** of farmland into carbon sequestration projects by 2050.That’s three times the size of Tasmania.In this episode of Off The Land, I break down what this actually means for farmers, food production, regional communities, and the future of real agriculture in Australia.From ABARES reports to the reality on the ground — are we sacrificing productive land for green targets that deliver little real climate benefit? Who really profits from this? And what happens to Australian food security when prime agricultural country gets turned into carbon sinks?If you care about farming, food, and the Australian bush — this one matters.Drop a comment: Should farmers be forced into carbon projects, or is this a voluntary choice that’s turning into a land grab?👉 Watch Episode 1: [Link to Ep1 if you have it]Support independent farming voices — like, comment, and subscribe for more real talk from the land.#AustralianFarming #CarbonFarming #NetZero
