Climate-Smart Agriculture Program - Partnerships and Innovation Grants

Overview

The Australian Government is inviting organisations via an open competitive process to apply to deliver projects under the Climate-Smart Agriculture Program - Partnerships and Innovation Grants. Objectives: Partnerships and Innovation grants will foster sustainable agricultural and natural resource management innovation.

Intended outcomes: Outcome 1: by 2028 the grants will have increased the number and area of Australia’s agriculture sector entities and land managers that have trialled, developed and/or implemented innovative technologies, tools or practices to improve the uptake and use of sustainable agricultural practices leading to the protection and enhancement of our soil, water and vegetation resources. Outcome 2: by 2028 Partnerships and Innovations grants will have increased the number and area of Australia’s agriculture sector entities and land managers that have adopted practices which have or will build resilience to the impacts of climate change, increase carbon sequestration and/or reduce emissions in farming systems. Outcome 3: by 2028 the grants will have supported the operationalisation and uptake of industry sustainability frameworks and credentials, and will have increased the number of sustainable agricultural practices that meet evolving market access requirements.
