The Sustainable Farming Fund

Funding projects that help rural communities help themselves.

The Sustainable Farming Fund aims to help the land-based sectors solve problems and take up opportunities to overcome barriers to economic, social and environmental viability.

The Fund works to:

  • provide ongoing opportunities to adopt new and improved farming/growing practices;
  • overcome production problems;
  • overcome resource management problems and improve environmental performance;
  •  take advantage of market opportunities;
  • support projects that can be readily applied throughout New Zealand.

Each year the Fund provides up to $9.5 million in grants for projects that contribute to the ongoing economic, environmental and social well-being of the country’s primary producers.
