May 2009 publication

This report presents detailed information on the impacts of the proposed nationwide carbon pollution reduction scheme (CPRS) on Australian agriculture.

The report was prepared to help the industry understand the potential impacts of the proposed CPRS so that it could be in a better position to engage in the design of the CPRS and to adjust under the CPRS, through structural change, land use change and investing in R&D and new technology to reduce emissions.

Copies of this report can be purchased through the RIRDC website.
