Have your say on the Future Drought Fund

The Future Drought Fund is calling for primary producers, community representatives, and ag innovators’ input into the Drought Resilience Research and Adoption Investment Plan.

We need your help to identify research and adoption priorities for regional and national drought resilience under the Australian Government’s $5 billion Future Drought Fund.

If you’re a primary producer, community representative or ag innovator, please keep reading to Have Your Say.

About the Future Drought Fund

The $5 billion Future Drought Fund will help primary producers and rural and regional communities become more prepared for, and resilient to, future droughts.

The Fund’s Research and Adoption Program will provide $117.3 million up to 2023-24 to support drought resilience and innovation activities.

The Program has four interconnected elements: Adoption and Innovation Hubs, Innovation Grants, a Science to Practice Forum and a national Drought Resilience Research and Adoption Investment Plan.

The Investment Plan will identify national and regional research and adoption priorities and help to shape the Future Drought Fund’s future investments.

Your voice needed to help guide the Drought Resilience Research and Adoption Investment Plan

We want producer, community and innovation providers’ voices to be heard at all stages of the Program.

That’s why we’ve partnered with Alluvium Consulting Australia to engage as widely as possible with rural and regional stakeholders. Please take the survey and/or register for a workshop to have your say on regional and rural research and adoption investment priorities ahead of future droughts.
