Carbon Accounting at the Farm Level: Scenarios to Achieving Net‐Zero Status

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The global transition toward net‐zero agriculture requires robust, location‐specific carbon accounting systems at the farm level. This study examines greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on broadacre farms in Western Victoria, Australia, and a production and income analysis to evaluate the cost‐effectiveness of various mitigation options at the farm
