Rabobank is pleased to be working with the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) by securing low cost loan funding at a discount of 1.15% pa for three years for eligible expenditure related to establishing new Environmental Plantings (ACCU Scheme) carbon farming projects. The discounted loan structure aims to help ease initial borrowing costs for eligible Rabobank customers for certain activities such as initial feasibility assessments, planting costs and reporting and audit expenses.
Initiatives like this help to create more pathways for farmers to integrate sustainability strategies within their existing farming operations which can have positive environmental impacts and at scales complementary to agricultural production.
In addition, we have created an Environmental Plantings carbon farming project (EP Project) explainer guide that aims to serve as a source of general information on EP Projects, highlighting some of the key planning and risk factors, and outlining where farmers can seek independent information. The guide also highlights some of the potential co-benefits that can be pursued such as creating shade and shelter for livestock, reducing wind erosion to protect pastures and soils, protecting riverbanks and waterways and nature restoration.
