How much carbon is on kiwi farms?

There have been strong calls globally and nationally to increase carbon sequestration in different land uses in New Zealand.

Carbon accounting is not mandatory in agricultural sectors; thus, woody vegetation in farms has not been recognised as an opportunity to reduce New Zealand’s national greenhouse gas emissions. Sequestering carbon in living biomass and in the soil can help reduce the impact of agriculture on climate change, while improving productivity, biodiversity, and ecosystem functions.

Febyana's PhD will capture the promising opportunity and multiple challenges, such as choosing the right land management and comprehensive techniques, to increase carbon stock on farms and explore what is needed to develop an ideal scenario to maximise the co-benefits of woody vegetation in farms in term of biodiversity and ecosystem services.
