Future proofing Aussie farmers, fishers and foresters
BCCM, with support from the Australian Government, has launched the first phase of the Co-operative Farming project.
Co-operative Farming is an 18-month project designed to support farmers, fishers and foresters through the formation of new farming co-operatives and to foster the resilience and growth of developing farming co-operatives, including those formed under the Farm Co-operatives and Collaboration Pilot Program (Farming Together).
The new Co-operative Farming interactive website with educational assets including tools, resources and course modules will be available from mid June 2020. Visit Get Mutual to see BCCM’s online tools. Contact us to find out about Educational Bursaries.
The Co-operative Farming project will provide farmers, fishers and foresters wanting to find out more about starting a co-operative and those wanting to grow existing co-operatives. This will include advice, education, mentoring and other opportunities.
Events: Co-operative Conversations – the livestream series
In a brand new and unique series, we speak with farmers who are successfully using Co-operative farming business models. Join us to hear their stories and real life experiences (warts and all).
We will provide an extensive range of resources, tools, education bursaries, mentoring program and interactive website.
Three project envoys and eight farming and fishery champions have been appointed to the project to lead, inspire and guide our interactions and engagement with farming communities.
