The training division of Bass Coast Landcare Network works with Sustainable Agriculture and other areas of the Network, connecting land managers with relevant training opportunities to address current and future needs. We assist the community with gaining the skills and knowledge to adapt to changing environmental, social and economic conditions and building land stewardship knowledge for a healthy, productive landscape into the future.

Training Needs analysis survey results

This Training Needs Analysis report summarises survey findings from a mid-2019 online survey, and gives recommendations for training related activity within the ‘Smart Farming for Western Port’ project region. This project works with landholders from multiple enterprise types throughout the Western Port catchment, aiming to promote sustainable farming and increase the understanding and uptake of innovative farming practices to improve farmer’s productivity and our natural resources.
