Drought resilience and innovation activities in Western Australia’s South-West agricultural region will be showcased during the coming Future Drought Fund (FDF) Science to Practice Forum.

A drought resilience ‘knowledge network’ kicks off today, charged with shaping transformational measures that will help local producers and their communities to adapt to a variable environment.

Researchers and farmers are set to join forces to find ways of drought-proofing Western Australia’s 200,000 Wheatbelt dams – to help meet the needs of modern farming enterprises.

Individuals and groups passionate about improving the drought resilience of local farmers and their communities are encouraged to apply for exciting new roles that form part of two initiatives.

The Grower Group Alliance (GGA) has welcomed the Australian Government’s significant expansion of the scope and scale of the South-West WA Drought Resilience Adoption and Innovation Hub (SW WA Hub).

The Grower Group Alliance (GGA) has announced the appointment of Tom Davidson to the role of Director of the South-West WA Drought Resilience Adoption and Innovation Hub (SWWA Hub).

The Grower Group Alliance (GGA), will lead an $8 Million Australian Government investment for South West Western Australia (SW WA) that will transform the way producers and communities prepare for and respond to drought.
