A challenging road at Lake Moodemere from sustainability to carbon neutrality

Leadership and change are not foreign to the 5 generations of the Chambers family at Lake Moodemere Estate in the Rutherglen wine region. Changing farming systems and the mix of activities in order to remain in business is critical, as are the leadership skills shown by Belinda, Michael and Joel Chambers. Lake Moodemere will soon be one of six wineries in Australia to become certified carbon neutral.

With deep family connections within the wine industry and a history of previous generations providing leadership within the broader agriculture industry this adaptation to climate change and emissions reduction was a natural step.

North East Catchment Management Authority, spoke with the Chambers family in conjunction with hosting two Wine Australia workshops exploring carbon neutral wine and grapes at Rutherglen and Oxley during December.

These workshops are part of the Carbon Farming Outreach Program, helping farmers learn how to reduce emissions, store carbon and navigate carbon market opportunities.
