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.

Workshop Dates and Venues (includes morning tea and light lunch):

Workshop 1: Thurs 31 July (9am to 1pm) NOTE NEW DATE

We’ll help you identify risks and opportunities, and turn them into a practical, realistic plan. At the end of each workshop, participants will leave with a risk assessment, resources and tools. The skills and strategies you gain will benefit your business well beyond the program.
