flag Tasmanian woolgrower Trent Young boosted profits and sustainability using reforestation, a fast-approved loan, and high-value wool sales.

flag Tasmanian woolgrower Trent Young, who purchased Broad Valley Farm in 2022, is advancing sustainable, high-value wool production through reforestation and carbon-positive practices. flag He secured a low-interest loan via NAB’s Agribusiness Emissions Reduction Incentive Program, approved in 48 hours after demonstrating the farm’s carbon neutrality due to forest sequestration. flag Focusing on ultrafine 12.8-micron wool, Young achieved strong returns selling just seven bales at $170/kg, outperforming past years with higher volume. flag Support from Wool Solutions and plans to build direct contracts with Italian buyers help navigate market volatility. flag Savings from the loan funded further reforestation, while the process improved his carbon accounting and sustainability messaging. flag His values-driven approach aligns with broader Australian wool industry initiatives like Woolmark Plus and nature-positive strategies, responding to growing consumer demand for eco-conscious products.
