Episode 67: The Eckard effect – Simplifying carbon accounting for farming with Dr Richard Eckard


Listen Later

Join us for a conversation with Dr. Richard Eckard, Professor of Carbon Farming at the University of Melbourne and National Program Leader at the Carbon Research Centre for Net Zero Agriculture. Richard is the mind behind Australia’s first carbon accounting tools, which is now the recognised standard in Australia for measuring on-farm carbon.

Accredited globally, Richard was named one of the world’s top 1,000 climate scientists by Reuters in 2021. He’s also a trusted advisor to governments across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and Europe, as well as global organisations like the UN FAO and the International Livestock Research Institute.

"The way I think of carbon farming is: how can we become more efficient at capturing photosynthesis and turning it into a product we can send out to the market?"
