The Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts has launched Round 2 of the On Farm Connectivity Program. This initiative provides $18 million in funding to support technology suppliers who can help farmers adopt on-farm digital solutions like connected machinery and sensors.
- Funding Available: $18 million in Round 2
- Who Should Apply: Businesses that supply digital connectivity equipment to agriculture, forestry, or fisheries sectors
- EOI Submission Deadline: 29 September 2024
This program aims to improve connectivity on farms by funding approved suppliers who provide eligible connectivity equipment. Farmers will benefit from these technologies, which can:
- Boost productivity: Automate processes and monitor farm operations more effectively.
- Enhance safety: Use real-time data from sensors to prevent equipment failures or hazardous conditions.
- Support sustainability: Optimize resource use, reducing waste and improving efficiency.
The program is seeking connectivity equipment suppliers who want to provide their products and services to the agricultural sector. If approved, these suppliers will be listed as eligible providers under the program.
