Apply for Climate-Smart Agriculture grants to support Aussie farmers

The Australian Government is helping the agriculture sector respond to climate challenges through the $302.1 million Climate-Smart Agriculture Program, funded through the Natural Heritage Trust.

The Program will help drive agricultural productivity, competitiveness, and sustainability by supporting farmers and the agricultural sector to:

  • adopt climate-smart practices that reduce emissions and build resilience to climate change
  • harness carbon and biodiversity incentives and implement industry sustainability frameworks
  • adopt sustainable natural resource management practices that protect natural capital and biodiversity.

The program has multiple investment streams, including $45 million Partnerships & Innovation grants and $9 million Capacity Building grants that are now open.

Partnerships and Innovation grants of between $250,000 and $5 million can be used for a range of activities, from development of climate-smart technologies to improve farm efficiencies, decision support tools and smartphone applications, to new practices for sustainable grazing, cropping systems and pasture management.

Capacity Building grants of between $10,000 and $1 million are available for a range of activities that enable farmers to access the latest climate-smart and sustainable agriculture approaches and inform decisions about their farming operations.
