‘Emerge Program’ Grants available to innovative ag thinkers’

Do you have an idea to make your business more drought resilient?

Grants valued between $2,000 and $10,000 are available to growers ready to take a paddock idea to the R&D phase.

Ideas and innovation to improve efficiency and process often come from those doing the ‘doing’. However, there is a gap that arises between an idea coined on the job and developing a product, practice or process.

This pilot grant round offered by GGA and CSIRO is designed to close the gap.

The objective of the ‘Emerge Program’ small grants round is to facilitate the development of ideas that will help WA farmers and the agri-food sector prosper in hotter and more variable climates and build greater resilience to more frequent seasonal droughts.

Our mission is to foster small cohorts of agricultural thinkers by helping them enter the innovation ecosystem.

The grant round includes support from experts at CSIRO and GGA to make the jump from producer to developer more accessible.

Submit your grant application by June 28, 5pm (AWST).
