About the SLMACC Freshwater Mitigation Programme
The SLMACC Freshwater Mitigation Programme supports field trials of existing farm technologies and practices which protect waterways and wetlands by reducing nutrient run-off and leaching. It aims to produce scientific data that can be incorporated into decision-support tools. This will help farmers and growers use their land more sustainably, meet environmental targets, and remain prosperous.
The programme was allocated $20 million over 5 years to fund scientific projects.
Twelve research projects are underway, having been funded through a fund round in 2020. No further funding rounds are planned at this time.
