Abstract

The Farm Business Resilience Program’s delivery of the Farm Planning training program in Western Australia has delivered improved short to medium term, physical, financial, social and environmental outcomes for farm businesses. Through the delivery of an experiential “learning journeyâ€, using multidisciplinary facilitation teams to build strategic management plans led to improved strategic decision-making and business performance. Reported here is a range of benchmark performance indicators, which were unavailable at IFMA 21 - where attitude changes and plans to adapt and or transform farming practices were evident. Subsequent analysis indicates participants in the program show lower operating costs, improved return on capital, better operating profits/Ha, and improved indicators of ‘resilience’. The shift in performance is in areas potentially most affected by climate change – the low and medium rainfall areas of Western Australia. Compared to other modes of farm management training, manifest here are the indications of practice change and the benefits of a facilitated learning journey to build capacity and innovation through strategic planning. There are clear implications for Government policy.
