Biodiversity in Action Program
There is a growing demand for practical, evidence-based approaches that integrate biodiversity into routine agricultural business and land management. Landcare Australia’s Biodiversity in Action Projects, led by the Landcare Agriculture Program will support Australian producers to understand, measure, monitor and manage biodiversity in agricultural businesses.
The program will bring together Landcare groups, farmers and graziers, scientists, and agricultural experts to collaborate on creating innovative, on-ground solutions that enhance biodiversity while supporting productive and resilient agricultural landscapes.
Together, these 11 projects will deliver innovative, producer-led approaches to biodiversity monitoring, threatened species protection, soil health improvement, invasive species management, and Indigenous-led knowledge integration.

Program Objective
To strengthen producer capacity and confidence to adopt biodiversity-friendly practices that deliver environmental gains alongside economic resilience.
Geographic and Industry Scope
Spanning across Australia – from Far North Queensland to Tasmania, New South Wales, Victoria, and Western Australia – supporting 11 diverse projects. These initiatives reflect the breadth of Australian agriculture, covering industries from rangelands grazing and dairy to horticulture and mixed farming systems.
Key Activities
- On-ground implementation of biodiversity practices such as revegetation, shelterbelts, improved grazing, riparian restoration, and soil health interventions.
- Use of biodiversity assessment tools (vegetation surveys, soil testing, habitat mapping) supported by digital technologies like drones and mobile apps.
- Capacity building through workshops, field days, and digital outreach to help producers interpret ecological data and apply adaptive management.
- Development of biodiversity metrics to support natural capital reporting and readiness for emerging environmental markets.
