Farmers and Resilient Farming Tas Program participants have shared a lot with us over recent months, including topics of interest to them.

In response, we have been hosting an ongoing Tuesday Lunch and Learn Webinar Series. Timed for 45 minutes, the first half of the webinar will focus on a knowledge exchange, with an opportunity for you to then have a Q&A with the experts. These events are FREE to attend and will guide you through resources and tools available through the RFT Program.
All webinars have been recorded with access via the Google Classroom for participants.
