The newly established network of Sustainable Agriculture Facilitators will connect stakeholders with others in the industry and share information on sustainable agriculture practices. Source: Timberbiz The facilitators are employed by local National Resource Management organisations funded through the Climate-Smart Agriculture Program and will support the program’s broad climate-smart sustainable agriculture outcomes. Deputy Secretary for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Policy, Matt Lowe, said the $40.7 million investment in the network of facilitators, spread across 52 regions Australia-wide, ensures there is a designated point of contact for farmers, landholders and community groups. “We understand there’s a lot of information out there and that support is needed on the ground to ensure everyone has access to the latest and most helpful information,” Mr Lowe said. “The facilitators will provide one-on-one support for farmers and landholders, providing them with available information and funding opportunities, as well as connecting them with others in the industry. “Our industry has made great strides in becoming more sustainable, and this network will further support us in achieving our climate-smart goal. “The facilitators will work closely with our network of Regional Soil Coordinators, also funded through the Climate-Smart Agriculture Program. “Together, the facilitators and Regional Soil Coordinators will ensure our valued stakeholders on the ground have a point of contact on all thing’s climate, sustainability and soil.” The Australian Government established the $302.1 million Climate-Smart Agriculture Program over five years from 2023-24. This program is funded through the Natural Heritage Trust and will drive agricultural sustainability and productivity. For more information visit www.agriculture.gov.au/climate-smart
