Hi Amir



<http://www.carbonfarmersofaustralia.com.au/CampaignProcess.aspx?A=Link&VID=12742069&KID=70510&LID=278556&O=http%3a%2f%2fcarbonfarmingconference.com.au%2fConference%2fConferenceRegistration.html>
 I
had the privilege of attending the final day of the Ylad Living
Soils<http://www.carbonfarmersofaustralia.com.au/CampaignProcess.aspx?A=Link&VID=12742069&KID=70510&LID=278557&O=http%3a%2f%2fwww.ylad.com.au>conference
last week, and once again fell in love with terrestrial carbon -
microbes, compost, and the living, breathing ecosystem working so hard
beneath our feet.

 I learnt again that 'carbon protects biology'. And that we are losing
topsoil at an alarming rate. Call me mad, but it fired me up all over
again.

 So, can a market assist with this ever-present threat? If so, how? As I've
said before, we've supported a market solution because it's efficient, it
drives innovation, and you don't have to rely on Governments! And, most
important of all, it can reward farmers, increase resilience to climate
variability and we can keep dollars and jobs in the Regions because if
farmers are being rewarded, so will others.

 <http://www.carbonfarmersofaustralia.com.au/CampaignProcess.aspx?A=Link&VID=12742069&KID=70510&LID=278556&O=http%3a%2f%2fcarbonfarmingconference.com.au%2fConference%2fConferenceRegistration.html>

So, join us in a
week<http://www.carbonfarmersofaustralia.com.au/CampaignProcess.aspx?A=Link&VID=12742069&KID=70510&LID=278556&O=http%3a%2f%2fcarbonfarmingconference.com.au%2fConference%2fConferenceRegistration.html>as
we go on the no-obligation journey to a carbon credit. Ask the curly
questions, confront both sides of politics with the issues, and see if you
think the glass is half full or half empty. We'll discuss the approved tree
methodology - is it worth getting started? How hard is the compliance? Can
I do it myself? And every other pressing issue.

In a relaxed and fun atmosphere your education will include many firsts:

   - First carbon neutral bulk haulage
company<http://www.carbonfarmersofaustralia.com.au/CampaignProcess.aspx?A=Link&VID=12742069&KID=70510&LID=278576&O=http%3a%2f%2fcarbonfarmingconference.com.au%2f_blog%2fCarbon_Farming_Conference_Blog%2fpost%2fTruckie_from_Dubbo_leads_the_world_on_Carbon_Cuts%2f>explaining
