Climate Ready Farming Leaders Project

Delivered in partnership with Cradle Coast NRM and RMCG Consulting Group, this three year project is working with two groups of young farmers in the Cradle Coast region to assist them to identify and evaluate options for adapting to climate change.  The project began in July 2009 and will finish in May 2012.

A range of practical activities will be used to achieve this, including regular farmer group meetings, training workshops, information sharing and local on-farm trials and monitoring.  Topics being addressed include Business Management and Planning; Understanding the Threats and Opportunities of Climate Change; Risk Management; Soil Health and Organic Carbon Management; Investigating Carbon Footprints; and Energy Efficiency Audits.

The project is funded by the Farm Ready Program - Industry Grants.

Areas covered: Sassafras, Ulverstone
