Carbon Farming Initiative Update
A lot has been happening with the CFI recently with four new CFI methodologies being approved this year, bringing the total number of methodology determinations available for use to 11. These cover activities for:
- agriculture
- vegetation
- landfill and alternative waste treatment.
MLi will be coordinating some more CFI communications workshops and the details of these will be posted shortly.
Three of the new methodology determinations available under the CFI are related to the planting or regeneration of native vegetation. The differences in these methodologies are that:
- the environmental plantings methodology involves planting and/or seeding of local native species of plants on cleared or partially cleared land
- the human induced regeneration of a permanent even‑aged native forest methodology involves establishment of forest through the cessation of activities that cause suppression or destruction of vegetation growth (for example, feral animals, stock and weeds)
- the reforestation and afforestation methodology involves reforestation using any species (except declared weeds) of cleared land
