Adapting to Change - helping farmers adapt to variable climates and markets in the Limestone Coast

Project code: No Code

Project manager: MFMG Team 

Project duration: July 2021 to June 2022

About the project

To deliver education and capacity building to farmers – at a livestock field day, crop walks, and via communication products/tools – to assist them in adapting to variable climates and markets in the Limestone Coast region. 

Outcomes:  Specific and expert education and capacity building – for farmers attending MacKillop Farm Management Group scheduled crop walks and field days – about adapting to climate and market change, to assist them in being more climate-change ready in their future decision making.  Land managers who would not normally attend events solely devoted to these topics will be targeted – resulting in climate change communication and education of hard-to-reach segments of the land manager community.  In addition, a podcast and a video devoted to climate and market change adaptation for farming enterprises will be produced.
