Resilient Farming Tas - let us know what we can do for your business to be ready for the future

Welcome to Resilient Farming Tas.

The Resilient Farming Tas Program will support farming businesses that want to plan for future challenges and prosper.
The program will work with each farm business to understand risks that are specific to you, understand what you already have in place to address these risks and provide tailored information, skills, tools, and coaching to help you cope with future challenges such as extended dry periods, fires, and floods.

The program will tackle themes around
  • strategic planning
  • risk and opportunity management
  • safe farming
  • climate sustainable practices
  • decision-making and implementation.
The program will offer a range of elective ways to participate, including
  • individual site visits (mandatory)
  • forums/information days
  • online learning 
  • webinars
  • one-on-one coaching.
On completion of the program, you will have a business resilience plan that builds on plans you already have (written or in your head). 

Up to 3 members from each business are eligible to participate in the program, with a total cost to the business of $500 plus GST.

For more information you can visit the website.

This survey aims to find out where you and your business are at right now to give you the best support we can to build your business resilience plan.

Following completion of this survey one of the members from our team will give you a call.
