the land access toolkit

In 2023 Sprout Tasmania applied for and received funding from the State Government (NRE) as part of the Strategic Industry Partnership Program (SIPP) in order to undertake a collaborative project on lease and share farming.

When discussing the project with organisations interstate that had conducted similar work we realised that there was scope to share some of the resources we aimed to produce. In order to realise this, and to open up the project further to allow for collaboration with Young Farmers Connect, we successfully applied for additional funding through the Sustainable Table Fund.

The Land Access Toolkit was co-authored by Sprout Tasmania and Young Farmers Connect and published in 2024. To launch the toolkit we held a webinar event, which you can view here.


To help us collate information on who is using the toolkit, we would appreciate it if you could answer the short questions below. Please note this data will not be shared unless we have permission.
