BOOTS  FOR  CHANGE  2016  ©  AFMA   3  

IN THE BEGINNING…  AFMA  successfully  applied  for  a  Foundation  for  Regional  and  Rural  Renewal  (FRRR)  grant  to  co-­‐ordinate  a  BOOTS  FOR  CHANGE  (BFC)  national  awareness  campaign  throughout  Australia’s  network  of  farmers’  markets.    BOOTS  FOR  CHANGE  originated  from  the  2015  ABC  Heywire  Regional  Youth  Summit.  A  group  of  young  women  from  family  farms  across  Australia,  led  by  Emma  Mott,  Bega  (NSW)  proposed  the  idea  of  the  BOOTS  FOR  CHANGE  Campaign.      FRRR  and  ABC  Radio  collaborated  to  pitch  the  BOOTS  FOR  CHANGE  idea  (and  seven  others)  to  interested  national  organisations,  intending  to  facilitate  partnerships  between  allied  organisations  and  the  Heywire  teams.    AFMA  has  committed  to  umbrella  the  national  BOOTS  FOR  CHANGE  initiative  in  2016,  after  initiating  and  debriefing  two  BFC  pilot  activities  in  October  2015.      MEET THE HEYWIRE TEAM Five  girls  from  family  farms  conceived  the  BFC  idea:  Melissa  Kelly,  Ravenshoe,  QLD;  Tekura  Irvine,  Ceduna  SA;  Britt  Reinke,  Esperance  WA;  Hannah  Brown,  Bogunda  Station,  QLD  and  team  leader  Emma  Mott,  Bega  NSW.

 HEYWIRE TEAM’S BOOTS CONCEPT  Head  to  your  local  farmers’  market  to  support  grassroots  farming…    The  original  BFC  scope  was  founded  on  the  fact  the  girls  all  hail  from  farming  communities.    ‘For  us  the  beauty  of  Australian  produce  is  that  it’s  grown  by  our  mums  and  dads,  who  care  for  our  livestock  and  environment.  We  see  the  struggle  and  hardship  that  farming  families  go  through  to  produce  food  for  Australia’s  dinner  tables.  We  think  more  people  need  to  appreciate  this.    ‘More  and  more  people  value  local,  seasonal  fresh  food  and  are  willing  to  pay  for  it.  We  want  you  to  put  your  boots  on  and  head  down  to  your  local  farmers’  market  to  show  your  local  producers  that  you  care  and  want  them  to  keep  producing  healthy  farm  fresh  Australian  food.’    They  envisaged  a  special  Farmers’  Market  Day  where  everyone  wore  boots  to  their  local  farmers’  market  –  the  symbol  of  an  awareness  campaign  celebrating  local  food  and  farmers.      WHAT IS BOOTS FOR CHANGE?  

AFMA  has  adopted  the  BOOST  FOR  CHANGE  idea  and  is  driving  a  national  awareness  campaign  that  will  use  BOOTS  –  any  kind  –  gumboots,  work  boots,  riding  boots,  tap  boots,  cowboy  boots,  fashion  boots  –  as  the  symbol  and  iconic  image  to  connect  farmers,  their  families,  farmers’  markets  and  communities.    Rather  than  just  one  day,  AFMA  will  be  inviting  all  Australian  farmers’  markets  to  host  supportive  market-­‐based  events  during  Boots  for  Change  Month  during  April  2016.  The  campaign  aims  to  promote  farmers’  markets  and  support  grassroots  family  farming  and  rural  youth.  It  is  an  activation  of  the  innovative  idea  developed  by  the  group  of  young  rural  women  at  the  2015  Heywire  Innovation  Summit.

WHEN DO WE KICK OFF OUR BOOTS? April 2015 The  national  BOOTS  FOR  CHANGE  launch  is  planned  for  Carriageworks  Farmers’  Market,  Sydney  on  Saturday  2  April  2016.  It  is  expected  that  ABC  Radio  will  broadcast  live  from  the  event.  It  will  headline  BOOTS  FOR  CHANGE  month.      April  has  been  chosen  as  the  month  when  market  produce  is  most  abundant  in  most  regions  of  Australia.  The  4-­‐week  window  of  BOOTS  FOR  CHANGE  month  will  allow  weekly,  bi-­‐weekly  and/or  monthly  markets  to  participate  in  their  chosen  BFC  activities.  Weekly  and  bi-­‐weekly  markets  may  choose  to  run  multiple  BFC  activities,  or  just  on  one  BFC  Market  Day  during  April.    All  markets  are  invited  to  run  their  BOOTS  FOR  CHANGE  market  events  on  2  April  or  after  that  date  during  April,  with  all  events  concluding  on/before  30  April  2016.

  …or  similar  organisations    This  is  an  indicative  and  by  no  means  an  exhaustive  list.    You  are  encouraged  to  offer  your  chosen  community  partner  organisation  a  stall  or  other   presence   –   eg:   cooking   demonstration   at   the   BFC   Market   Day/s   to   provide  visibility  and  a  promotional  platform.    AFMA  will  rely  on  market  managers  to  choose  and  involve  suitable  organisations  and  undertake  all  community  liaison  at  the  grassroots  level.  Participating  markets  will  be  asked  to  report  on  their  community  extension  activities  and  their  outcomes.    JOINING COMMUNITY LINKS… Market  managers  are  encouraged  to  choose  one  local  organisation  and/or  program  as  the  BFC  Market  Day  partner.  The  chosen  organisation  should  be  promoted  in  all  event  collateral,  and  be  prominently  involved  /  have  a  stall  on  BFC  Market  Day,  allowing  representatives  to  promote  their  respective  rural  youth/  farming/  sustainable  food  programs.   FUND-RAISING The  BOOTS  FOR  CHANGE  Campaign  is  intended  as  an  awareness  project,  rather  than  a  fundraising  initiative,  which  could  be  interpreted  from  the  campaign  name.    Of  course,  your  BFC  Market  Day  (or  days)  can  also  be  an  opportunity  to  fundraise  –  Gold  Coin  donation  –  for  a  preferred  community  partner  organisation.  There  is  however  no  incumbency  to  do  this  if  your  market  committee  prefers  not  to.      EVENT MANAGEMENT  Participating  farmers’  markets  are  wholly  responsible  for  the  management  of  their  BFC  market  day  activities.  AFMA  will  provide  the  campaign  logo,  and  specified  promotional  tools  for  the  use  of  markets.    BFC  market  events  will  need  to  run  within  individual  markets  budgets  and  resources;  AFMA  will  not  provide  funding  for  individual  market  activities.

BOOT  UP  TO  SUPPORT  FARMING  FAMILIES  BOOTS  FOR  CHANGE  FARMERS’  MARKET  DAY  [Insert  date]  April  2016  

 

Boots   –   any   kind  –   gumboots,  work  boots,   riding  boots,   tap  boots,   cowboy  boots,   fashion  boots   –  will   all   feature   at   this   special   [insert   market   name]   BOOTS   FOR   CHANGE   Market  Day.  Boots  have  been  chosen  as  the  symbol  to  promote  farmers’  markets  and  to  celebrate  our  hardworking  farmers  and  their  families.    

This   market   is   part   of   the   national   2016   BOOTS   FOR   CHANGE   Support   Farming   Families  awareness   campaign,   organised   by   the   Australian   Farmers’   Markets   Association   (AFMA)  during  April.    The   BOOTS   FOR   CHANGE   campaign   idea   originated   from   the   2015   ABC   Heywire   Youth  Innovation   Summit,   championed   by   an   HSC   student,   Emma   Mott   from   Bega,   south   coast  NSW.    

‘The  beauty  of  Australian  produce  is  that  it’s  grown  by  our  mums  and  dads,  who  care  for  our  livestock   and   environment.  We   see   the   struggle   and   hardship   that   farming   families   go  through   to   produce   food   for   Australia’s   dinner   tables.  We   think   more   people   need   to  appreciate  this,’  said  Emma  Mott.  

‘We  want  people  to  put  boots  on  and  head  down  to   their   local   farmers’  market   to  show  local   producers   that   we   care   and   want   them   to   keep   producing   healthy   farm   fresh  Australian  food.  It’s  something  everyone  can  do.’  

So   head   down   to   your   local   farmers’   market   and   support   BOOTS   FOR   CHANGE   to   raise

‘Market  shoppers  across  Australia  are  being  asked  to  wear  boots,  recycle  old  boots  in  novel  ways,   participate   in  best  boot  parades,   boot  photo   competitions,   boot-­‐scooting   and  many  other  fun  activities  to  draw  attention  to  farming  and  local  food  production,  as  well  as  youth  programs   in   these   rural   communities,”   explained   Jane   Adams,   spokesperson   for   the  Australian  Farmers’  Markets  Association.    Market  shoppers  are  asked  to  shop  in  boots,  stallholders  will  do  more  than  just  wear  boots  so  you  can  expect  plenty  of  boot  action  –  and  prizes.  There  will  be  [insert  list  of  boot  themed  activities  to  be  held  on  BFC  Market  Day  at  your  market]      ‘We’re   asking   shoppers   –   and   stallholders   –   to  put   their   best   boots   forward.   It   is   amazing  how  this   idea  resonates;  people  are  very  passionate  about  supporting  farming  families  and  promoting   agriculture   to   boost   the   local   economy,   ’   said   [insert   name],   manager   of   the  [insert  market  name]
