WHY WAS THE RESEARCH UNDERTAKEN?
Through consultation with Oysters Australia (OA), NineSquared feels that the oyster industry would significantly benefit from a targeted understanding of what opportunities exist in the carbon neutral and environmental accounting space and how they specifically apply to the industry, the benefits, and path to implementation.
This approach would include:
-
Development of strategic advice for the industry as a whole
-
Outline current options available to industry and accreditation pathways
-
Summarise value to the industry as well as the individual farmer and identify/discuss any limitations.
-
Understand any existing research limitations in progressing towards accreditation
