Innovation Grants and Community Food Grants now open for applications (Source: DAFF News 7 June) Applications are now open for two new grant programs, Innovation Grants and Community Food Grants. Innovation Grants are part of the Caring for our Country Initiative, delivered under the Sustainable Agriculture stream by DAFF. Grants from $250 000 up to $1.5 million are now available for the development and adoption of innovative practices and technologies across agriculture, fishing, aquaculture and farm forestry industries. Community Food Grants are a key initiative of the National Food Plan. The grants are available to not-for-profit organisations to support the establishment or improvement of community food initiatives — such as farmers’ markets, food hubs and community gardens — and initiatives that address food insecurity, such as food rescue activities. Grants of up to $10 000 will be available for community gardens, city farms or similar activities, and up to $25 000 for farmers’ markets, food rescue or similar activities.
