Australian Regenerative Ag Platform, Wyuna, has acquired grazing and natural capital powerhouse, “Bendena Station” west of Bollon Qld, taking its aggregation to 270,000 acres across four holdings in South West Queensland.

‍

Wyuna operates a unique natural capital and regenerative ag platform, backed by a significant focus on vegetation-based carbon removals to support Australia’s transition to a low carbon economy.

Wyuna CEO and co-founder, Steve Green, said the aggregation is poised to create 2.2 million ACCUs over the life of our projects, and with the acquisition of Bendena, supports a cow herd of over 2,000 cows as part of a focus on sustainable red meat production, alongside natural capital goals.

“Backed by technology, and a world-class team of farmers, investors and sustainability professions, we’re demonstrating what Australia’s vast agricultural landscapes are capable of when it comes to food production, nature and taking action on climate change,” Mr Green said.

“Bendena brings further scale to our aggregation and, while it was one of the first carbon projects in Australia to register an environmental account under the Accounting for Nature® Framework, it is the first Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) project to achieve certification, establishing a baseline that provides valuable insight into how the state of nature can be monitored and improved over time.”

Mr Green said Wyuna was deploying various technology solutions to inform our operational plans as well as quantifying vegetation changes and the performance of our projects.

“Working with partners such as Agronomeye, we’ve flown fixed-wing planes across every acre of our farms to capture highly granular LiDAR data.”

“This transparent data is being made available to our natural capital partners and ACCU customers, allowing us to directly measure carbon sequestration across every acre of our vast aggregation.”

This data is also helping us prioritise broader land sustainability efforts and even capital improvements such as fencing and water points.

“Wyuna is bullish about opportunities to blend sustainable agriculture and nature, and has further investments planned over the medium term.”
