This project is an initiate of the Food Economy and Agroecology Taskforce which has identified that access to equipment is a significant barrier for new and small-scale farmers. This project will evaluate the level of interest from farmers in establishing a farm equipment sharing program that would facilitate farmer to farmer sharing or low-cost renting of tools and equipment.
We are calling on farmers who either have equipment you’d be willing to share, and/or are yourself interested in accessing tools and equipment to fill out this survey so that we can assess the level of interest and possible pathways to establishing the program.
Further information on this initiative will be available at the Farming Our Way launch on Friday 12th September.
