The Climate Change Research Program (CCRP) currently funds research into soil carbon, methane and nitrous oxide emissions and climate change adaptation technologies that improve productivity and increase the sustainability of the agricultural sector over the long term.
Demonstration of research on farms or by food processors is important in encouraging the adoption of new practices. Projects submitted for funding under the CCRP should demonstrate the latest technology developments, backed by clear, reliable scientific research delivered from a trusted source.
Expressions of Interest for demonstration projects should focus on actions to lower farm and food processor greenhouse gas emissions and increase productivity. Projects should also incorporate actions to increase the ability to adapt to future climate change.
Research demonstration sites should bring together the best farming or food processor management practices to illustrate the impacts on productivity and emissions across the whole enterprise.
Collaborative projects involving farmers, food processors, agribusinesses, regional groups and scientists and with multiple activities are strongly encouraged.
Deadline for Expressions of Interest 5.00pm, 5 February 2010.
