Throughout 2020 Mutuo worked on a new project for the Australian Business Council of Co-operatives and Mutuals designed to support farmers, fishers and foresters through the formation of new farming co-operatives and to foster the resilience and growth of established farming co-operatives.
The project saw a series of roundtables with Australian agricultural co-operative leaders examining some of the sectors key challenges as well as opportunities for future growth.
In September 2020, working closely with these agricultural leaders, Mutuo produced a Blueprint for future proofing Aussie farmers which identified why co-ops are good for Australian farmers, Australia’s regions and Australia as a whole.
