Summary
The Forewarned is Forearmed climate coaching for on-farm decision making project (referred to as the ‘FWFA extension project’) has been the final phase of the five-year Forewarned is Forearmed (FWFA) project, and focused on the extension of the project outputs to industry, and more specifically, to service providers in the dairy, red meat, grains, wine and sugar industries in southern Australia. The target audience was southern-Australian based advisors who will deliver workshops to producers to drive adoption of the five new Bureau of Meteorology forecasting tools for extreme weather events. The desired result of the project will be trained advisors, who are well-equipped with appropriate resources, to support the training of producers to use the tools, which will decrease the impacts that extreme weather events have on farm production and on business profitability.
Benefits to industry
The benefits to industry resulting from the project include:
• A suite of resources for advisors and producers which can be used to support learning about and confidence building for using the FWFA resources.
• Trained advisors who can facilitate workshops with producers to support their learning journey.
• More resilient producers who will be supplying food and fibre to Australia.
