Project summary
Regen Farmers Mutual (RFM) is partnering with landholders, Landcare networks and groups, Drought Hubs, Natural Resource Management/Local Land Services and land improvement groups to creating multiple demonstration sites, each co-designed for replication within a specific environmental context. The program aims to provide a structural approach to gathering individual farmer interests. It provides a methodology to engage with 10, then 20, then 100+ farmers in a region. Project partners in various regions will use Regen Farers Mutual resources to create aggregated environmental market products, with a competitive advantage that comes from group scale.
