The Natural Heritage Trust (NHT) is the Australian Government’s key investment platform for achieving its natural resource management, sustainable agriculture and environmental protection outcomes.
Through the NHT the Australian Government has established the $302.1 million Climate-Smart Agriculture Program over five years from 2023-24. This program will drive agricultural sustainability, productivity, and competitiveness. It supports the following program outcomes:
- The agriculture sector is adopting practices to reduce emissions and build resilience to climate change.
- The agriculture sector is supported to harness carbon and biodiversity incentives and implement industry sustainability frameworks.
- Farmers are supported to drive agricultural growth, while adopting sustainable natural resource management practices that protect and conserve natural capital and biodiversity.
The Climate-Smart Agriculture Program is comprised of the following investment streams:
Partnerships and Innovation
Partnerships and Innovation grant is an open-competitive grants with a total of $45 million available over 4 years (2024-25 to 2027-28) for medium to large scale projects to drive the development, trialling, adoption and roll-out of climate-smart, sustainable, innovative tools and on-ground farm practices that increase the agriculture sector’s productivity and profitability.
The Partnerships and Innovation grant round opened for applications on 22 February 2024 and closed 9.00 pm 8 April 2024.

Soil Capacity Building
The Soil Capacity Building grants are comprised of two grant rounds:
- $6.26 million for a team of Regional Soils Coordinators (closed non-competitive)
- $2.14 million for a National Soils Community of Practice (restricted-competitive).
These grants are supporting networks for researchers, primary producers, and community groups to work together, and provide a forum for soil practitioners to share the latest soil science information and tools.
The targeted application process for both grant opportunities opened on 7 February 2024 and closed on 5 March 2024.
Soil Health Information
The government is also continuing to invest in soil through:
- $21.6 million for a National Soil Monitoring Program to understand the condition and trends of soils nationally. The data will support stakeholders to make evidence-based decisions to improve soil health at a range of scales and will be made available publicly through the Australian National Soil Information System.
- $6 million to enhance Australian National Soil Information System (ANSIS) to provide improved access, sharing, and use of nationally consistent soil data and information to help sustainably manage our soil, and to support decision-making and policy outcomes.
Regional Delivery Partners and Landcare
The Climate-Smart Agriculture Program also recognises the vital role that Regional Delivery Partners and National Landcare organisations provide in achieving sustainable agriculture and natural resource management outcomes. The following investment streams will support this:
- $13 million for Supporting National Landcare Organisations - operational funding – to support our National Landcare Organisations to maintain their capacity, and ensure they are primed to deliver NHT outcomes efficiently and at scale. This funding is provided by both the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, and the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water.
- $27.1 million for Regional Delivery Partner operational funding – to support the operational capacity of a national network of Regional Delivery Partners to deliver NHT outcomes efficiently and at scale.
- $85.6 million for Regional Delivery Partner project funding – for Regional Delivery Partners to initiate practical, on-ground, climate-smart, sustainable agriculture projects across 52 regions in Australia.
- $40.7 million for Sustainable Agriculture Facilitators – to provide a national network of facilitators employed by each of the Regional Delivery Partners. The facilitators will connect farmers, landholders, community groups and agriculture industries to relevant information and programs on climate-smart, sustainable agriculture practices; facilitate partnerships and connections; and support the delivery of sustainable agriculture projects in their region.
These investments will also strengthen First Nations engagement and participation to enable the agriculture sector to draw benefits from traditional knowledge and support First Nations agricultural enterprise.
Through the program’s effective on-ground projects, the government will support farmers to manage climate risks and invest in their on-farm natural capital and effective natural resources management, helping the sector to respond to climate change, better withstand future bushfires, floods and droughts and protect its productivity.
