The Future Drought Fund’s annual Science to Practice Forum is on again, 6-8 June 2023.

The Future Drought Fund’s annual Science to Practice Forum brings together farmers, researchers, government, industry and the community to explore the innovative tools and practices helping our regions prepare for future drought.

Wednesday 7 June – Farmers, Producers and Agricultural Advisors: stories of drought and preparing for it, ‘call-to-action’ presentations, content relevant to opportunities under the FDF for producers and their communities. Farmer and farm-advisor delivered stories.

Thursday 8 June – Community and Policy: community and social projects, including presentations on farmer wellbeing and community resilience in the context of drought. Policy discussions and input from FDF network partners.
