Sustainable Agriculture and Carbon Outreach Officer

The Sustainable Ag and Carbon Outreach Officer is a key position in the board's growing sustainable agricultural team, working across the Carbon Outreach and sustainable agricultural facilitator projects.  The successful applicant will facilitate and implement workshops, training events, grant programs and activities that increase awareness of carbon reduction practices and exploring markets that align with both the board's, the South Australian and the Australian Government's objectives for Sustainable Agriculture and natural resource management. They will engage and work closely with pastoralists, land managers, producer groups, First Nations groups, farming systems groups, agri-business, industry bodies and agencies to achieve this.

A key element of this role is delivering training and advice to empower pastoralists, land managers and First Nations people to understand and ultimately participate in carbon markets and integrate low emission technologies and practices into their pastoral and farming operations and land management practices.

This will require delivering a carbon farming training package that provides clear, consistent and culturally appropriate information on carbon farming and low-emissions technologies and practices that are relevant to the South Australian Arid Lands region.
