Agriculture Biodiversity in Action Grant

The goal of the Landcare Agriculture 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.  It does this by providing support – including training, field days, and on-ground trials – to advisors, producers, and landcare groups, thereby boosting productivity, resilience, and market access in line with local priorities. 

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.
