Ethical Fields and the Business Council of Co-operatives and Mutual (BCCM) is hosting a series of courses for Australian farmers, fishers and foresters, focusing on some of the key challenges and opportunities in the agricultural space.
The program will be facilitated by experts in the agricultural and co-operative sectors.
As part of the Co-operative Farming project, BCCM is providing access to educational bursaries to cover 90% of the cost of this series for farmers, fishers and foresters who are interested in co-operatives, or currently engaged within a co-operative. If you are eligible for a bursary, this reduces the cost to you from $550 to $55 (GST inclusive). Learn more about the bursary program.
Protected Habitat: Monetising the value of sustainable farming
A 6-week (one session per week) of online learning
Dates: Friday 21 August – Friday 25 September 2020
Recommended for: Farmers and aligned stakeholders interested in opportunities for co-operative ownership of a sustainable farming brand.
Course content: How agricultural producers can monetise the value of their sustainable farming practices. This series will focus on how co-ops can create and capture value for their members and their customers by prototyping a producer co-op that would build and own a Protected Habitat brand.
The aim is to assist producers to understand the emerging opportunities in sustainable farming and how a cooperative can help maximise the value being created. We will draw on expert participants from farmer groups and practitioners, as well as from the finance, retail, and conservation sectors.
