FRDC will analyse fishing and aquaculture emissions reduction and carbon sequestration information to support development of the Carbon Farming Outreach Program's knowledge bank. FRDC will identify gaps in publicly available information on emissions reduction, emissions intensity, and carbon sequestration, and provide actionable insights/recommendations to avoid duplication and ensure cross-commodity consistency. The project will collaborate across stakeholders, RDCs, Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, and the broader supply chain. The project will engage a consultant with extensive knowledge of fishing and aquaculture and other commodities to conduct the analysis, ensuring it is informed by industry-specific expertise and includes collaborative opportunities with other RDCs. The project will involve systematic stakeholder consultations to identify and prioritise gaps and develop actionable recommendations for producers to lower emissions and sequester carbon.

The purpose of this project is to build upon 2022-022: "Australian Food and Wine - Collaboration Group" by expanding to more key international markets, thereby promoting a collaborative industry approach to trade both domestically and internationally. The project builds upon the 'Team Australia' initiative, which is a collaborative, multi-agency approach designed to promote Australian interests abroad by uniting government, industry, and other stakeholders to work toward shared goals. Specifically, the project aims to enhance market access and trade opportunities for Australian agricultural, forestry, and fisheries exports through market product promotions in international countries.
