We’re seeking project proposals for the Early Adoption Accelerator initiative.   Backed by up to $51 million in Government co-funding over three years, the Accelerator is designed to bridge the gap between early availability and widespread use of proven mitigation tools - by co-funding sector-led projects that remove adoption barriers and put the tools into practice on-farm.  💡 If you have an idea for an Early Adoption Accelerator project, we’d love to hear from you.

We’re pleased to launch the Early Adoption Accelerator - a new initiative to help more farmers put proven emissions reduction tools into practice. Announcing the Accelerator at Fieldays® today, Hon Nicola Willis MP and Hon Todd McClay confirmed the Government will provide up to $51 million to co-fund projects delivered through the initiative. With a range of tools expected to emerge soon, this is part of our work to accelerate the development and deployment of tools for New Zealand farmers. “By demonstrating the tools in action, we can give farmers the evidence and confidence they need to make informed decisions for their businesses and help pave the way for broader use across the sector,” Wayne McNee. 👉 Read more on our website https://lnkd.in/ecBWb-aR
