Sustainable Farming Grants for groups – up to $22,000

Woolworths, via Landcare Australia and the federal Minister for Agriculture, have just announced $1m in funding for sustainable farming projects. The Woolworths Sustainable Farming Grants are an ideal way of fast tracking some of the ideas that farmers and other regional organisations have been considering. These grants give farmers the chance to carry out highly innovative projects that would have been otherwise impossible. The innovations could focus on issues such as climate change adaptation, crop or animal production, water or nutrient use efficiency, management of waste or salinity.

The grants are available to groups, and will be up to $22,000 (including GST). The guidelines and application form are available online at the website click here.

You must apply by Monday 9th November – so be quick!!
