Farmers for Client Action - Letter for Battery Support Campaign

5/4/2025

0 Comments

 
BSFG is sharing this email from Farmers for Climate Action. 

FCA is asking for support for policies that allow regional Landholders and Communities to continue to benefit from the energy shift, and make a substantial contribution to a low emissions future for Australia .

There are different ways you can help. Links are included in the email below.
​
We invite you to read and consider supporting Farmers for Climate Action.

Judy Schwarzman
Secretary, Benalla Sustainable Future Group


Hi,

I want to share FCA's Quiet Majority Election Campaign. This year, we want to make sure that landholders and communities across regional Australia continue to benefit from the energy shift. 

While this campaign is a little different from your organisation's focus on sustainability and conservation work, the policies we are asking for will go a long way in securing a low emissions economy here in Australia. 

This election, we’re asking for:
  • Farmers to be able to use the energy they generate across their whole property, including across different property titles
  • Upgrades to local poles and wires
  • Delivery of support for batteries for all farmers


To do so, we are rallying a grassroots campaign (check it out here), which features guides for farmers to send letters to their local newspapers and to local MPs and candidates. 

We are organising an open letter to show the widespread support for farmers to be able to access affordable battery systems. 
​
Support this by signing the open letter for battery support and sharing with your network. I have attached a tile that you can share on your socials or newsletter to encourage your network to sign, if this helps.

Sign our open letter - Farmers for Climate Action

Re: Support for On-Farm Batteries. Australia’s farmers are calling for urgent federal political support for on-farm batteries to help secure their energy future, lower costs, and strengthen regional communities.
​

Everyone is welcome to support the campaign by signing the open letter. If your group has farmer members who may be interested in sending a letter or ordering a farm gate sign, feel free to send the guide onwards.

Cheers, 
Rosie, for the Farmers for Climate Action team

    'Sustainable Farming Systems'

    This group is working towards widespread adoption of Sustainable Farming Systems by developing a series of forums and on-farm demonstrations to explain the changes necessary for carbon capture and storage on farm.  It's keen to meet with other like minded groups to determine common goals, to develop a Regenerative  Farmer Peer Support Program, and more.
