Stakeholders can now apply for up to $80,000 to explore practices to operate in a drying climate.
The grant program aims to continue agricultural growth while adopting sustainable resource management practices. The grant opportunities will fund projects that increase awareness, knowledge and skills of best practice towards climate smart agriculture.
Jason Taylor, Manager Sustainable Landscapes with the Limestone Coast Landscape Board said, “The Limestone Coast Landscape Board is continuing its commitment to sustainable agriculture by offering the Climate-smart Landscapes Grants Program. By encouraging the uptake of practices that prepare farmers for a more variable climate, we ensure that they can adapt and thrive into the future.”
“Demonstration sites, peer-to-peer learning, workshops and field days that share information to encourage best practice can be funded. Applicants may consider projects about soil health, water and nutrient management and entering carbon markets.”
“We encourage primary producer groups, landholders, landcare groups and First Nations peoples to apply who are currently undertaking natural resource management activities or wish to commence new ones. This grant program is available for organisations and peoples who have a desire to share their learnings with neighbours, industry colleagues and other land managers.” said Jason.
Applications close 5 pm 15 April 2025. Applicants are strongly recommended to discuss project ideas with a Limestone Coast Landscape Board staff member.
The Climate-smart Landscapes Grant Program is supported by the Australian Government through funding from the Natural Heritage Trust under the Climate-Smart Agriculture Program.
