A Guidebook for creating rural learning networks Ian Colley, Bruce Thomson and Monica Redden
This project developed a Guidebook for creating and sustaining rural skill networks. It involved extensive discussions with primary producers, farmers, extension officers and people involved in regional business development networks. The main focus was on developing strategic management skills through group activities among primary producers and related networks. The project also involved the creation of new networks, including the multiple award winning “Outback Beds” agritourism network.
This project was done for the Federal Dept of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. It can be downloaded from their WEB SITE.
