Farm environment plans and the challenge of resilience

Abstract

Farm environment plans (FEP) have been developed with a focus on how to reduce the effects farming has on the environment, but is this sufficient to address the effects of the environment on farm resilience? In this poster we present preliminary analyses of FEP templates and ask if there is potential to extend their content in a way that makes them more valuable to the farmer as a useful tool for improving their farm's resilience rather than as a tool for regulatory compliance.
