The Foodlands program responds to the urgent need to ‘grow’ more farmers and keep farmland intact for farming by supporting people involved in farmland conservation and community farming.
A key component is our hub of community farming information and resources. Many farmers have told us they can’t find business and governance information and other resources relevant to small and medium scale farm businesses and cooperative farms.
We encourage use of this information for personal and public non-commercial use, and request that the Community Farms Program be acknowledged.
Please contact us with suggestions and new resources!
