Current TasFarmers Projects
TasFarmers is currently involved in a number of industry projects aimed at benefiting farmers across Tasmania
Projects that are aligned with TasFarmers Council and Committee priorities will protect and improve our members
capacity to be profitable and sustainable, while simultaneously promoting the organisations role in Tasmanian agriculture
Biosecurity Project
This project will allow for the continued collaboration between Biosecurity Tasmania and TasFarmers to provide and facilitate required resources and communication to ensure that their businesses are biosecurity ready. This project has been funded for a continued three year period (2022/23-2024/25) and will focus on educating farmers, the supply chain and wider community about biosecurity.
Through continuous and effective communication we aim to improve and encourage positive cultural change towards farm biosecurity and the obligations under the General Biosecurity Duty.
Living Next Door to a Farmer Project
The project objective is to educate and engage the community, with the aim to foster good neighbourly relations between farmers and residents in new and existing peri-urban locations. The project is managed by TasFarmers, is proudly funded by the Tasmanian Government and supported by Local Government Association Tasmania (LGAT), Real Estate Institute of Tasmania (REIT).
Life in a rural community can be a very rewarding and beneficial lifestyle once farming activities are understood and acknowledged. If you are planning a move into a rural community, or indeed are already living in a rural location, it would pay to do some investigation in the location before relocating. Remember some farming practices are seasonal, so even a roadside inspection may not reveal all aspects of what occurs on a neighbouring farm, especially if you visit out of season.
Red Meat IDO Project
The Red Meat Industry Development (IDO) project will be delivered by TasFarmers working in collaboration with DPIPWE operating under a joint industry/government governance model.
The IDO will help set and implement actions from the Tasmanian Red Meat Industry Strategic Plan and lead a range of initiatives throughout the supply chain for the red meat industries. The IDO will be responsible for all associated project communications, industry engagement and working with a red meat steering committee and all other tasks necessary to deliver this three-year project.
