Sustainable Farming Grants
Posted on 4 November, 2009 by Connecting Country
Grants of up to $22,000 (including GST) are now available to Australian Farmers under the Woolworths Sustainable Farming Program and thanks to the support of Woolworths shoppers, who raised funds to help Australian Farmers in 2009.
The Woolworths Sustainable Farming Program is a collaboration between Landcare Australia and Woolworths to develop, improve and encourage sustainable farming practices. They are seeking applications from farmer groups, farming organisations and Landcare groups who wish to undertake projects in any primary production industry.
These grants are aimed at supporting farmers develop or implement good ideas to improve the sustainability of farming practices. The projects should develop or support the adoption of improved farming practices, production techniques, technology or products. Projects could focus on issues such as climate change adaptation, crop or animal production, water or nutrient use efficiency, management of waste or salinity. The projects should also provide results of interest and benefit to other farmers. Innovative ideas that will share information about successful strategies for adapting to climate change and managing under variable rainfall are most welcome.
Closing date for applications – Monday, 9th November.
See the Landcare Australia Website for details, application forms and guidelines.
