The Carbon Coalition was established in 2006 to pursue the following Mission: “To see soil carbon traded and growers paid fairly for what they grow.” It is an advocacy group. Members are farmers, scientists, agronomists, and city dwellers. The Coalition organised the first 5 “soil science summits’ to bring scientists and farmers together to promote exchange and collaboration. These gatherings are now called Carbon Farming Conference & Expo. The Coalition prosecuted the case for soil carbon offsets, traded the first offsets on the unregulated market in 2007. It’s commercial arm - a not-for-profit called Carbon Farmers of Australia – publishes the Carbon Farming Handbook and delivers workshops on soil carbon and trading, called Practical Carbon Farming.
Coalition Convenors Michael & Louisa Kiely are woolgrowers in Wellington District of Central West NSW.
