Sustainable Agriculture Small Grants
Clarence Valley Council’s Sustainable Agriculture Small Grants Program supports local farmers in adopting land management practices that benefit not only their farms but also the wider community and natural environment.
The Sustainable Agriculture Small Grants Program aims to collaborate with primary producers to:
• Encourage and support the uptake of improved land management techniques.
• Strengthen knowledge and skills in natural resource management and sustainable farming practices.
• Enhance on-farm biodiversity, water quality, and soil health.
Farmers are invited to submit project proposals aimed at addressing environmental challenges or enhancing the health and productivity of their land. Funding will not be provided for capital purchases or new business ventures unless the project demonstrates a clear environmental benefit.
Each financial year, a limited number of grants of up to $5,000 (including GST) are available for eligible projects. Funding is awarded through a competitive process based on merit.
