The Trees Grow Resilience – Interactive Knowledge Hub project aimed to create an online knowledge hub for Tasmanian farmers, demonstrating how integrating trees on farms can enhance resilience to environmental and economic shocks.
The project developed an interactive model farm showcasing the benefits of managed trees on farms. It included factsheets, case studies, articles, videos, and tools from leading experts.
All planned activities were completed, with some delays. The project involved extensive stakeholder engagement to identify barriers and information gaps.
The project highlighted the need for a user-friendly knowledge hub. It recommends extending the project and proposing additional projects to address identified gaps.
The knowledge hub will continue to evolve, including new resources and tools to meet user needs.
Overall, the project has promoted the integration of trees on farms, improving resilience and natural capital outcomes.
A simple assessment tool will be developed for farmers and landowners to identify their vulnerability to the impacts of drought, providing them with a risk rating and pathways to increase their preparedness for future droughts.
This project will help farmers diversify and market their produce through agritourism by identifying spare capacity and resources on the farm and providing them with the necessary business tools and tourism networks.
This project enhances farmers' digital literacy skills to leverage digital innovation and technology in Tasmania's key agricultural sectors. It identifies barriers, enablers and success stories, and delivers engagement activities and resources to build digital literacy among producers and service providers. It will highlight sector-specific trends of adoption of digital ag tech along with challenges faced by farmers and the broader supply chain.
This project facilitates stakeholder dialogue to support sustainable food and fibre production and tap into the opportunities presented by emerging governance frameworks, market-based incentives, and regulatory mechanisms. It builds understanding and connection across organisations involved in environmental accounting and governance frameworks, aiming for a coordinated and complementary approach.
