If you’re a farmer who wants to implement climate-resilient farming practices in the Port Phillip and Westernport catchment, this community hub is for you. By following this hub, you’ll be able to:

  • get information and strategies to help you consider low-emission and biodiversity-friendly farming
  • give feedback on the resources you need to make information decisions about climate-smart farming.

We’re here to listen and provide independent, science-based information, and share local stories as you aim for industry sustainability targets.

Let’s work together towards fact-based eco-credentials that underpin your climate-resilient farm.
Let’s be an Ag-Resilient foodbowl in Melbourne.
