Australian Government Grants Supporting Best Practice Sustainable Agriculture

These objectives will be achieved by supporting projects that contribute to achieving one or both of the program outcomes:

• Increased adoption of best practice sustainable agriculture.
• Increase the capacity of land managers to adopt best practice sustainable agriculture.

Grant funding of between $5,000 and $50,000 are available to complete eligible activities which achieve one or more of the program outcomes, including undertaking activities that:

      a) directly improve natural resources and improve on-farm adoption of best practice sustainable agriculture;

      b) will increase land managers’ knowledge and skills;

      c) will increase the capacity and capability of community and Landcare groups to assist in adoption of best practice sustainable agriculture.

The funding cannot be used for:

-        Business-as-usual activities;

-        Activities that are closely related to those already underway or completed;

-        Activities that could reasonably be considered the land manager’s ordinary responsibility unless you demonstrate a substantial public benefit that would not occur without the grant; and

-        Research activities or trials of methods that are already well-established best practice.

Applications for this grant are currently open and will remain open until 11pm AEDT on 19 December 2019. For more information please view the website.
