The Indigenous Languages and Arts (ILA) program supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to express, conserve and sustain their cultures through languages and arts activities around Australia.

Overview
The Australian Government is inviting consortia via an open competitive process to apply for grants under the Long-term Trials of Drought Resilient Farming Practices Program (the program). It is anticipated that the program will support grants valued up to $8 million dollars per grant, depending on the scope and complexity of the project.

Projects will have a focus on grain cropping, livestock grazing and/or mixed cropping and livestock systems. Projects will test, refine, and demonstrate the effectiveness (or otherwise) of yet to be proven farming practices in a robust scientific manner. The testing of these practices will underpin and assist to drive widespread adoption through increased evidence and by providing farmers with the confidence and information they need to try the practices themselves.

The aim of the FDF is to build drought resilience, for the public good of the Australian agriculture sector, landscapes, and communities. The FDF supports broader climate resilience outcomes, where they are consistent with the principles of the Funding Plan.

Projects should support the following objectives:
