The Smart Farms Small Grants program has been established by the Australian Government under the Smart Farms initiative, an agriculture component of the National Landcare Program (NLP). The aim is to support agricultural projects that trial and implement new and innovative technologies and tools which will reduce the pressures on Australia's natural resources, while increasing profitability and productivity.
Grants will be available to support local on-ground projects across Australia that increase the knowledge and capacity of farmers and fishers and facilitate the adoption of tools, technologies and improved land management practices to effectively, sustainably and productively manage Australia’s natural resources and adapt to significant changes in climate, weather and markets.
A total of $5 million is available, with grants offered in two tiers:
- Smart Farms Small Grants Tier 1: Grants between $5,000 and $50,000
- Smart Farms Small Grants Tier 2: Grants between $50,001 and $100,000
