We create opportunities for farmers to improve their land management and profitability on the Fleurieu Peninsula in South Australia.
We are made up of a diverse group of forward thinking farmers, industry advocates and individuals. This helps us understand the real issues, thoughts and needs of Fleurieu Farmers.
We access grants to fund farming specific projects, which are then shared with our fellow farmers through workshops, field days and working groups.
Keeping farmers focuses on what is important to ensure they remain sustainable and profitable in the future.
As a group, FFS aims to benefit the region’s economy, sustainability, profitability and wellbeing by identifying and managing farming system issues and opportunities of a strategic nature on the Fleurieu Peninsula.
We attract research funds and resources and develop and manage projects, extension and support that build confidence to adopt new technology and ideas. Part of our extension includes conducting 4- 5 farmer demonstration days per year where we aim to show project outcomes and discuss relevant practice change that may improve local farm productivity and sustainability and wellbeing. We may also invite input into future regionally relevant projects and ideas.
