Funding Changes can be expensive, especially if new ideas and methods have to be trialled. Foodgrowers and graziers are at the heart of our 21st Century needs. Whole nations can benefit from new procedures which maintain and increase their productivity and economic viability. It is only reasonable that the nation and other businesses that stand to benefit share the risks and costs. The burden cannot be carried by the property owner. Governments have anticipated this and have setup grant systems. Private businesses see it is a good investment which will bring returns. The Gloucester Project will develop a grant identification and application system in consultation with all participants. Gloucester Shire Council has agreed to assist in this process. We will seek grants and other finance from any appropriate source to address climate change, food supply, energy, water, fuel issues in any part of the community.
