A REGIONAL APPROACH TO CARBON
The Southern Forests Food Council (SFFC) have developed one of the first non-government, regionally focused Carbon Strategies. Our goal? To cut through the confusion, provide clear guidance, and help producers determine if and when to start their carbon journey.
SOUTHERN FORESTS REGIONAL CARBON STRATEGY
The SFFC is a pivotal organisation dedicated to promoting sustainable agricultural practices and fostering a thriving community in the Southern Forests region. Comprised of local farmers, producers, and community leaders, the SFFC works collaboratively to enhance the quality and sustainability of food production in the area. The Southern Forests region is renowned for its world-class produce, playing a vital role in the economic and social fabric of the Shire of Manjimup, the Western Australian State, and Australia as a whole.
A central initiative of the SFFC is our Southern Forests Carbon Strategy and is designed to assist efforts to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainability across multiple sectors of our region. From 2024 to 2025, with the support of key regional, state, and federal stakeholders, the SFFC aims to be recognised as a leader in assisting the region in its carbon reduction efforts, sharing our knowledge and practices both nationally and internationally to help and learn from others. To achieve this, we will form strategic alliances with regional producers, the Shire of Manjimup, the Western Australian State Government, and the Federal Government as well as the wholesalers and retailers in the supply chain. These partnerships will be crucial in securing funding and advancing our carbon strategy, ensuring widespread impact and long-term success.

SOUTHERN FORESTS PILOT PROJECT
To make this real, we’re launching a pilot program for our local producers to establish baselines. Having a baseline is a key step in protecting market access. We’ll also work with local, state, and national partners to keep our region ahead of the curve. This is about supporting our farmers and securing a strong future for our community. More information coming soon. In the meantime contact info@southernforestsfood.com
The Southern Forests Carbon Strategy Pilot Project is supported by the Australian Government's Future Drought Fund
