Farmer Incubator

Farmer Incubator is a not-for-profit organisation established in 2013 and currently based in and around Melbourne, Victoria. Our aim is to help grow future farmers from an enterprising collective of young people who are concerned about food quality, sovereignty and security, and who are yearning to work the land. We also aim to provide a more approachable entry into the world of agriculture by tackling the high-cost and high-risk nature of farming through the establishment of a collaborative farming model; a framework already developed extensively in the US and other countries around the world.

Centre for Organic Research & Education (CORE) promotes and advocates for the use of organic based methods of farming and gardening, such as using compost, and likes to share new innovative sustainable practices with our network community.
Our CORE organisation fosters the recycling of organic waste materials, helps reduce atmospheric emissions through organic waste recycling and increases soil carbon through direct sequestration of recycled organic carbon based products such as composts and mulches.

28 July 2017 – A co-determination model for coops?

A co-determination model for cooperatives

Cooperative development workshop

In this workshop we will be asking whether cooperative boards could benefit from Germany’s co-determination model. This is the model that has been embedded in the German economy for the last 60 years – and has helped create a remarkable alignment between employees and employers. We’d like to explore whether this model could work for creating alignment in Cooperative Boards.

Date:  28 July 2017

Time:  10.00am – Midday

Location: Kelvin Club, 14-30 Melbourne Pl, Melbourne
