Island Award for excellence in Tasmanian agriculture
The Island Award will be awarded to a Tasmanian farming business that is demonstrating a sustainable, adaptive and innovative approach. They will be leaders within their industry, and will be able to clearly demonstrate that they are farming for tomorrow as well as today. Macquarie Franklin are sponsoring the inaugural award, which will be launched this year - the Year of the Farmer. The Island Award winner will be announced at the TFGA conference dinner on July 11 2012. The winner will receive a $2,000 cash prize and trophy.
Farm businesses can either nominate themselves or be nominated by their industry. A farm business that will be eligible for the award will:
• Be able to demonstrate that they are continuously improving their farming business
• Be working hard to ensure that their operation is sustainable (environmentally, economically and socially)
• Be making a contribution broader than the boundaries of their farm (either through actions on their own farm, or through leadership/working with other farmers)
Nominations opened on Monday March 19 2012 and close on Friday 11 May 2012.
