A new Drought Resilience Adoption and Innovation Hub based in Hobart is set to transform the way that Tasmanian farmers and communities prepare for and respond to drought.
The Australian Government will invest $8 million to establish the Hub under the $5 billion Future Drought Fund, with $13 million to be contributed by Hub members.
Assistant Minister for Forestry and Fisheries Jonno Duniam said the Hub would oversee the co-design and delivery of innovative projects and practices aimed at boosting drought resilience and agricultural productivity.
