Action on the Ground - grants
Primary tabs
Action on the Ground is a component of the Carbon Farming Futures Program and will invest up to $99 million of grant funding over six years to June 2017.
Action on the Ground assists farmers and land managers to undertake on-farm trials of abatement technologies, practices and management strategies to measure and demonstrate how these can reduce agricultural greenhouse gas emissions of methane and nitrous oxide or increase the sequestration of carbon in soil while maintaining farm productivity.
Under round two, individual grants up to $775 000 (GST Exclusive) are available for farmers, land managers, farming groups, researchers, industry sectors and non-government organisations to undertake projects that address at least one of the program’s three key priorities:
• reduced methane emissions from livestock production systems
• reduced nitrous oxide emissions
• increased carbon sequestration in soils
