Restoring landscapes across the Mount Alexander Region

New Sustainable Agriculture Grants

Posted on 19 May, 2011 by Connecting Country

Landcare Australia and Woolworths have recently launched the ‘Woolworths Fresh Food Future’ program. As part of this program, Woolworths is providing $150, 000 of funding towards a grants program to help farming groups develop or implement sustainable farming practices.

Projects that support farmers in the adoption of technology or practices that improve water use efficiency, nutrient management and their carbon footprint will be targeted. The grants will be awarded to farming groups and each grant can be up to a maximum of $10, 000 to implement a project, which addresses one of these key areas.

Applications close on Monday 30 May 2011.  The application form can be downloaded here and the grant guidelines here. For further information, visit the Landcare Australia website at: http://www.landcareonline.com.au/?page_id=4476.
