The South-West WA Drought Resilience Adoption and Innovation Hub (SW WA Hub) partners with other hubs across the country to boost Australia’s resilience to drought and climate challenges, creating a stronger and more sustainable future for all in the agricultural industry.
The eight Drought Resilience Adoption and Innovation Hubs are funded by the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund. The hubs support farmers and communities to get ready for drought and connect farmers with regional agricultural experts, innovation and new practices.
