Farmers were able to learn from other farmers at the actual events and meetings, but we also had lots of other outputs.
So there'll be lots of information that we would generate from working with the farmers that we would put together as meeting notes, case studies, practical guides that other farmers and land managers would also be able to benefit from.
And presumably a lot of these, I mean, they're still publicly available to people and they'll be hugely relevant, even if some of them are, you know, looking back into the last couple of years now.
Yeah, there's various publications and bits and pieces are still there on the FAST website.

We also had social media accounts as well and did various podcasts and videos and things like that.
So they're still dotted about on the internet and available for people to have a look at.
