Education and Upskilling in the Agriculture Sector

Professor Frank O'Mara:

Yes, somewhere around that. The point I am trying to make is that our general advisers will be doing the a lot of the work. We have 250 front-line advisers who have a client list and all of those will be engaged in supporting farmers around the actions in their plans. It is a whole-of-organisation effort. The messages around climate are generally around good farming practices anyway. They are the same messages we would be giving to people just to farm well.
