Drought Resilience Situational Analyses

Situational Analyses

The SW WA Hub has produced the following situational analyses for its four agro-ecological zones: Southern RangelandsMid West & Gascoyne CoastalWheatbelt and South West.

The purpose is to provide baseline knowledge of drought-related agricultural initiatives that have occurred in recent years and to identify ‘gaps’ where new opportunities could enhance outcomes in a hotter, drier climate.

The situational analyses and priority project topic lists are draft, ‘living’ documents.

Download each below.

Priority Project Topics

The four situation analysis reports have identified topics for drought resilience projects (addressing RD&E gaps).

These topics were workshopped with the hub’s Regional Advisory Committees (RACs), which each prioritised topics. These topics are being groundtruthed with farmers through Regional Node Leads.
