Farming Transformation Fund: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how businesses can access capital grants for water management and slurry infrastructure projects.

The Farming Transformation Fund provides capital grants to help businesses fund large-scale infrastructure projects.

Who it's for

This scheme is designed for businesses that want to invest in improving their water management systems or upgrading their slurry infrastructure.

What you get

You can receive capital grants that cover a percentage of the costs for large-scale infrastructure projects. These funds are intended to help support significant upgrades to your farming operations.

What it costs you

While the grant covers part of your project, you will need to provide evidence of planning permission. You must also prepare and submit detailed financial projections to show how the project will be funded and managed.

The catch to know

Simply wanting to upgrade equipment is not enough. To be shortlisted for funding, your project must be able to demonstrate that it will lead to significant gains in either environmental health or business productivity.

How to apply

  • Review your project plans to ensure they meet environmental or productivity goals.
  • Gather all necessary planning permission documentation.
  • Prepare detailed financial projections for your proposed infrastructure.
  • Check the official government portal for specific application windows and submission instructions.
