LOOC-C: A carbon farming market discovery tool for the Australian land sector

General Information

Project description

This project (running from 2017-2022) led to the development of a free digital tool, allowing landholders to explore options in the regulated carbon farming market. By providing landholders access to relevant methods, carbon sequestration estimates, and a listing of possible co-benefits, the LOOC-C tool helped demystify a challenging legislative environment for a farming-friendly audience. https://looc-c.farm/
A human-centred design process was championed through the entire development process, meaning that end users were involved at every stage and their feedback was incorporated into the final solution. Launched just prior to COVID-19, the tool has been updated as methods change, it has been successfully licensed, and continues to be used.
The rationale for proposing this project is motivated by the participatory nature of its development, its scientific rigor, and its deliberate alignment to Australia's current carbon market policy-regulatory framework.
