Funding Available to Support the Region’s Land Managers

The program supports the agricultural community in the Murraylands and Riverland region to build knowledge and skills that lead to more sustainable farming practices and improved natural resources management outcomes.

Eligible groups can apply for funding to run training, deliver skills and knowledge-building activities, host community events, and trial or demonstrate new approaches to climate-smart agriculture.

Murraylands and Riverland Landscape Board’s Sustainable Agriculture Officer, Denham Ewens says the grants are a valuable opportunity to support local producers facing an increasingly challenging climate.

“These grants are a great opportunity for primary producers and agricultural groups to access support that helps them adapt, innovate and share knowledge within their communities,” Denham said.

“We know our climate presents ongoing challenges for the agricultural community” he said. “This program is about helping them build adaptability by supporting practical, on-ground activities that strengthen both productivity and sustainability” he added.

“More than $270,000 is available, so we encourage all eligible applicants to consider how the funding could support their ideas,” he added.

Applications are open until 11 July 2025.
