The Rural Professionals Fund, established in 2020 by the Our Land and Water National Science Challenge, is now accepting applications for a second round of funding to support projects that could benefit farming communities.
This is a unique research fund, specifically designed for farmers and farm advisors, to enable them to rapidly test smart ideas that could create real benefit for New Zealand farming communities, our land, or our water.
Successful projects will be funded up to $75,000, to be completed within a nine-month timeframe. Last year the fund received 31 applications, of which 15 projects were funded.
Applications close on 13 August – for further information on the criteria and how to apply, please click here.
