  • Media release
  • Future Drought Fund
31 May 2023

The Future Drought Fund’s Science to Practice Forum is on again from 6-8 June, and the program is available now.

The 3-day forum is a showcase of the innovative tools and practices Australian farmers and communities are using to build drought resilience and a sustainable agricultural sector.

Deputy Secretary of Agriculture and Food Policy and Research, Rosemary Deininger, says that the online forum will also showcase the work of the Future Drought Fund’s 8 Drought Resilience Adoption and Innovation Hubs located around the country.

“The Science to Practice Forum is an opportunity to collaborate and network with likeminded people committed to growing a sustainable agricultural sector,” Ms Deininger said.

“It also demonstrates how integral the implementation of the Future Drought Fund, and its $100 million dollar a year investment, is performing right across the country.

“Hearing the stories of how Australian farmers and communities are using innovative tools and practices to build drought resilience can influence the decision making of both farmers and policy makers.”

This year’s forum will be hosted by Pip Courtney, award-winning journalist and host of ABC’s Landline, and features keynote speakers, presentations, panel talks, video content and First Nations perspectives from right across the country, with each day focussed on a particular theme:

  • Tuesday 6 June: Research and development
  • Wednesday 7 June: Farmers and Agricultural Advisors
  • Thursday 8 June: Community and policy
