Individual workshops for RFT participants - Strengthen your farm's future with a Farm Business Resilience Plan

What's your plan for the next drought, fire, flood, biosecurity incident or downturn?

​You can't predict the next setback to hit your farm, but you can prepare for it so that your productivity and profitability are protected.

The Resilient Farming Tas Program allows you to take a step back from the day-to-day and focus on the big picture.

Resilient Farming Tas and Tasmanian Women in Agriculture are collaborating to run a series of three half day face-to-face workshops in Launceston. The workshops will be open to all farmers (any gender). Workshop attendees must be enrolled in the RFT Program to benefit from the opportunities offered.
