Did you know Landcare Australia's Landcare Agriculture Program is offering funding to landcare and producer groups across Australia to team up with suitable experts to improve and enhance their biodiversity measurement and management skills?
The goal of the Landcare Agriculture's Biodiversity in Action Grant is to help groups across Australia improve their understanding and management of natural assets on-farm by testing, implementing and evaluating practical initiatives that can restore biodiversity and/or increase biodiversity values. We will support advisors, producers and landcare groups with training, field days, and on-ground trials. Funding is available to help groups across Australia enhance their understanding of biodiversity by testing, implementing and evaluating practical on-farm biodiversity initiatives.
On-ground farm projects need to focus on protecting and improving natural resources or minimise impacts of food or fibre production on biodiversity.
Projects must contribute to achieving both of the following aims:
1. Improve knowledge, skills and confidence in biodiversity measurement, monitoring and management.
2. Test and implement practical on-ground biodiversity management actions.
To achieve this, project activities must:
• increase the capacity and capability of community, landcare groups, producer groups or First Nations agricultural businesses, to work towards the adoption of measurable best practices for sustainable agriculture.
• directly improve biodiversity and on-farm adoption of best practice sustainable agriculture through on-farm demonstration.
Projects can be delivered over 2-years or 3-years and can commence from July 2025. At least 10 projects will be funded.
Projects must include an on-ground activities or trials to improve farm biodiversity management.
Groups should engage advisors or coordinators with suitable expertise to assist delivery of their projects.
