The purpose of the SFF is to support Communities of Interest to undertake applied research and extension projects to tackle a shared problem or to develop a new opportunity. SFF projects are lead by rural land owners and managers often with the support of industry organisations, agribusiness, researchers or consultants. Most successful projects are able to leverage a high proportion of other funding or in-kind support to complement the SFF grant.
