Smart Farms Small Grants: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how land managers and community groups can access grants for sustainable farming technology and on-ground projects.
The Smart Farms Small Grants program provides financial assistance to help implement sustainable farming practices through new technology.
Who it's for
This scheme is designed for land managers and community groups that are working to implement sustainable practices on the ground.
What you get
You can receive funding for on-ground projects. The grants typically range from $5,000 to $100,000.
What it costs you
There is no direct fee to apply, but you will need to provide evidence that you have the capacity to manage the land and the project. You will also be required to provide regular reporting on your project's progress.
The catch to know
The funding is strictly limited to the adoption of new technology on-farm. You cannot use these funds for general operational costs that do not involve implementing new technological solutions.
How to apply
- Confirm your project involves adopting new technology for sustainable farming.
- Gather documentation that proves your ability to manage the land and project.
- Prepare your project details for submission.
- Check the official government website for current application windows and guidelines.
