Thinking outside the box - a Podcast on resilience in the farming business
Joanne Stevenson, a Principal Consultant at Resilient Organisations while farming in North Canterbury, and Jack Cocks, a farmer from Lake Wakatipu, near Queenstown, discuss resilience in the farming business. In 2013 Jack experienced an unforeseen and life-changing medical event, which gave him and his family some marked insight to preparing a business to deal with change, both large and small. They discuss what resilience is, and what farm businesses and farming families can do to prepare for the future even though they can’t change it.
Project overview
The Future Ready Farm Business Workshops are designed for farm business owners, managers, and their critical partners who are interested in building a better understanding of their resilience and taking practical steps to become more future ready.
The project offered affordable workshops to groups of farmers looking to learn about resilience, plan for their future, and engage with other farmers on the same journey.
