Carbon8 originated as a solution to the 2017 NSW/QLD drought by a farmer, an accountant and an artist.
Carbon8 was our response to the impact the drought was having in our lives and on our rural communities. 

In time when the only support offered was short-term band-aid solutions, we responded by seeking out the true cause and the true long term solutions to drought.

We welcome primary producers including family farms, small-holdings, farms interested in eco-tourism and young farmers. As we are a social fundraising platform – the amount of donations we secure is directly relevant to the number of farmers we are able to help. As Carbon8 grows nationally (and internationally), so will our ability to help support farmers with a powerful education pathway forward. Our farmers cannot do this without you and our future cannot do without our farmers. We invite you to come and be on this journey.

We are an organisation created by farmers for farmers, to work together to create our regenerative future. As we share our knowledge with each other, we also acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, water, and community. We pay our respects to them, their cultures, and their Elders, past, present and emerging.
