Smart Farms Small Grants – is a $50 million small grants program to support the adoption of best practices that improve the management and quality of our natural resources and increases on-farm productivity. Open now until 7 December
The natural resources being protected or improved through these grants are on-farm soil, vegetation (where it also contributes to sustainable use outcomes) and biodiversity (including both terrestrial and marine). Applicants must address at least one of these natural resource conditions (on-farm soil, vegetation and biodiversity)
Smart Farms Small Grants is an open competitive grants opportunity, offering to fund short-term (up to two years) projects to support farming communities to increase awareness, knowledge, skills and capacity of adoption of best management practices.
