What is it?
Co-Farming Hub Franchise is an inclusive, digitally-powered franchise platform designed to help NDIS participants, individuals with long-term health conditions, and others facing employment barriers to create sustainable, home-based eCommerce businesses. The model integrates environmental impact with flexible income, giving participants the tools, training, and products to succeed.
Rationale
- NDIS participants face a 56% employment gap vs general population
- Existing employment programs lack scalability or real business ownership
- Low urban canopy & sustainability challenges in Wyndham & other regions
- Growing demand for ethical, eco-conscious products & services
- Opportunity to merge Health & Wellbeing with Clean & Agri Tech markets
- Potential to scale through digital-first, low-barrier franchise model
Our Approach
The Co-Farming Hub Franchise approach is based on piloting in Wyndham, where franchisees are trained and supported to run flexible home businesses using a central digital platform. They gain access to curated eco-friendly products, community greening services, and carbon-reduction tracking tools. The model promotes social and economic inclusion, job creation, and environmental sustainability—all without requiring physical storefronts or heavy infrastructure.
Franchise Model Features
- Centralized eCommerce platform with full franchisee dashboards
- Accessible online and face-to-face training & mentorship
- Environmentally conscious product & service offerings
- Low-cost, low-barrier startup model for disadvantaged groups
- Integration with carbon-tracking & ESG frameworks
- Built-in community engagement & partnership pathways
Franchisees can develop income streams while contributing to broader environmental goals, such as local greening initiatives, urban regeneration, and carbon reduction. The model is highly scalable and designed to be replicable across multiple regions after the Wyndham pilot.
