GRAIN and livestock producers will have an opportunity to learn how to manage and adapt to adverse events and improve their business' economic, environmental and social resilience thanks to a new farm resilience program.
The AgRi-Silience Program, which is a part of the Farm Business Resilience program, will connect producers with professionals who will deliver a mix of on-farm support and group workshop learning for each participating farm business.
Steering committee chair Samantha Neumann said the program was open to all SA livestock and grain producers.
"The training will be specific and individually tailored to ensure maximum benefit for participating businesses," she said.
"Livestock SA and GPSA will contract local facilitators to deliver facilitated learning, strategic planning processes, expert guidance and coaching to support farm businesses in the development of their own Resilience Roadmap.
"These roadmaps will help producers to build resilience and boost productivity, profitability and sustainability over the long-term.
"Subject matter experts will be engaged by the local facilitators based on the support participants require in areas such as natural resource management, informed decision making, business management and planning and personal and social resilience."
