The Southern NSW Drought Resilience Adoption and Innovation Hub is calling for input from industry and the community to develop its portfolio of project priorities for the next four years. We invite interested individuals and organisations to nominate to join with partners and design Hub activities for the 2024–2028 period.
Hub Director Cindy Cassidy says she is keen to attract a range of interests, expertise and experience. “Ideally we would like to have representatives from across agriculture, community groups, environmental organisations and traditional owners participating in these teams, to really maximise the diversity of input,” she says.
Together with partners and communities, the hub has identified six Impact Areas where it will seek to create programs that deliver new knowledge, tools and practices to enhance drought resilience for southern NSW farm businesses, communities and the environment.
These Impact Areas are: Social and Cultural Resilience; First Nations Community Resilience; Enhancing and Preserving the Natural Environment; Ground and Canopy Cover; Soil Health; or Water and Water Use.
To put up your hand to help design the activities for the 2024–2028 Hub Investment Plan, email your name, organisation (if applicable) and Impact Area/s to southernnswhub@csu.edu.au by Friday, 24th May 2024.
