However, sustainable funding of these projects presents a challenge that requires novel solutions.

The post Webinar: Investing in healthy farms for the future – a policy proposal appeared first on ANU Sustainable Farms.

]]> On Monday 12 October 2020, Sustainable Farms hosted a webinar on the concept of using a revenue-contingent loan system (RCL) for the financing of farm improvement projects.

The webinar was the first step in a public discussion about this proposal, and brought together Sustainable Farms Directors along with representatives from the National Farmers Federation (NFF) and Regional Investment Corporation (RIC).
