Farm Discussion Groups

 

Project code: LCLB00012

Project manager: Jess Revell and Meg Bell

Project duration: July 2022 to June 2025

About the project

 

The project will implement a farm discussion group model in the Limestone Coast, engaging local primary producers and helping these producers to adopt and implement sustainable land management practices.

The discussion groups will gather similar farms in a local region throughout the year, and facilitate discussion between group members based on the activities happening on farm at the time, and the priorities of the members of the discussion group.

The discussion groups are open to primary producers throughout the Limestone Coast.

A focus on sustainability will form the ethos of these groups; group members will be constantly challenged to share the ways they are implementing practice change on farm and improving their land for future generations.

Project Activities

 

Our MFMG Farm Discussion Groups are a farmer driven network which will allow you to ‘look over the fence’ at a range of grazing & cropping enterprises, see the latest innovation and technology being used on-farm and visit businesses involved in the supply chain.
 
The groups will provide the opportunity to:

-    ‘Think outside the box’ 
-    Enhance and improve your business profitability & productivity
-    Provide networking opportunities across the Limestone Coast
-    See the latest research, innovation and technology being used practically on-farm

The groups are designed to deliver what you want, and will be tailored specifically to your topics of interest to help drive performance in your enterprise. We welcome all primary producers from across the Limestone Coast to be part of the groups.
