ETS - here we come - the foundation is being built

A re-elected Gillard Labor government will provide $45.6 million towards Carbon Farming Initiatives including:
providing farmers, landholders and forestry growers with the tools to understand how to generate carbon credits
linking farmers, land managers and forestry operators with brokers, who could sell their credits on the domestic or international market
helping Landcare assist farmers by providing information on how to further benefit under the initiative
supporting research and on-farm testing of biochar as a further option for land managers to contribute to reducing Australias pollution.

Farmers and landholders will benefit from a new income stream, and the environment will benefit from reduced pollution.
