Case Studies
Explore how PPCC used the CarbonCrop platform.
These case studies show how PPCC is using the CarbonCrop platform to turn data into action. From helping landholders uncover ETS potential, to prioritising support where it has the greatest impact, each example highlights real outcomes achieved through practical tools, clear insights, and strong relationships with farmers on the ground.
Explore the case studies below to see how these insights have translated into measurable results, stronger engagement, and real momentum across the catchment.
From Forest to Funding – Helping Landholders See ETS Potential
The challenge
Many landholders were unaware that their native forest could be eligible for the ETS, meaning potential income was being missed and engagement was slow to build.
Key outcomes
Over $60,000 per year in ETS-eligible native forest identified within 3 months
Significant areas of eligible forest now moving toward ETS registration
PPCC exceeded its annual landholder engagement targets within four months
Prioritising ETS
Support Where It
Matters Most
The challenge
With limited coordinator capacity, PPCC needed a way to focus support where it would deliver the greatest impact, without slowing momentum across the catchment.
Key outcomes
Coordinators focused effort where it could unlock the most value
Time was prioritised on farms with the highest potential
Demand was managed without overwhelming staff or losing momentum
Exceeding MPI Milestones – Driving Membership with CarbonCrop
The challenge
PPCC needed a way to meet MPI membership milestones while offering landholders something practical and meaningful, not just information.
Key outcomes
PPCC exceeded its MPI membership milestone target in record time
New members received tailored insights into their ETS potential
Landholders shifted from curiosity to action, building trust and momentum
Making Carbon Real: From “What Have I Got?” to “What Could I Have?”
The challenge
Many farmers struggled to see the value of scattered native forest and felt uncertain about what carbon opportunities were possible on their land.
Key outcomes
Farmers began actively exploring ETS options
Native forest was seen as an opportunity, not a barrier
Some landholders started planning to connect blocks and restore marginal land
Engagement deepened through live, farm-specific conversations
What our partners say
