Building the foundations of drought resilience — Online

The Future Drought Fund’s first annual Science to Practice Innovation Forum is taking place from June 29 to July 1, 2021.

Each day sessions will begin 10 am AEST.

This event will connect researchers, farmers, agribusinesses, and communities who are committed to making Australia more drought resilient.

Engage with best-practice experts, researchers, government representatives, and on-the-ground practitioners working across the fields of sustainable agriculture, climate science, community development, and farm business management.

Hear from the eight new Drought Resilience Adoption and Innovation Hubs—the centerpiece of the Australian Government’s $5 billion Future Drought Fund. Each hub will present their region’s co-design priorities and how they plan to address these issues over the next four years.

Join us online to take part in the start of a new era in drought resilience and innovation.
