Regenerative Farming Network
Welcome to the first official newsletter for the Regenerative Farmers Network (RFN).
Perth NRM are working with RFN strategic partners to establish the scope of works for grant funding applications. In order to deliver the project’s proposed outcomes with the participating NRMs, we will be partnering with universities (UWA, ECU, & Curtin), Commonland and Wide Open Agriculture, WA Farmers Federation, and SUSTAIN: The Australian Food Network. These organisations will be contributing in-kind support to the RFN to provide the necessary groundwork to collect, analyse and deliver information for farmers and consumers alike to assist with building resilient farming systems and networks producing nutritious and healthy foods.
Closing rounds for the Smart Farming Partnership Grants will be the 21st December 2017, followed by the Australian governments Regional Land Partnerships (RLP) funding rounds in early 2018. The Smart Farming Grants will establish the RFN working group, with the RLP funding providing for the longer term (initially 4 years) scope of work for the project. Conditional to the outcomes of the funding applications, we plan to fund the RFN cross-regional collaboration through the RLP program, in partnership with other WA Natural Resource Management (NRM) organisations. |
