Department of Primary Industries (Queensland)’s Post

Farming is a continuous challenge, particularly in Queensland, Australia’s most disaster affected state 🌽  However, a joint initiative of the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and the Department of Primary Industries (Queensland) is helping farmers better manage weather, climate, and other disaster risks.  The Farm Business Resilience Program aims to increase the capacity of farmers to holistically manage business risks, including natural disasters.      Since the program commenced in 2021, more than 2,300 individual producers have taken part in the program, and around 24,000 participants have attended over 6,000 engagement sessions held across the state 👨🌾📔 The success of the Farm Business Resilience Program saw DPI take out the Government category at the 2024 Queensland Resilient Australia Awards, a just reward for their work improving resilience among local farmers.  #GetReadyQueensland #RAA24 #QLDAgriculture #Farming #Queensland Suncorp Group Australian Institute for Disaster Resilience
