Victoria Drought Resilience Adoption and Innovation Hub

Message from the Director Droughts are a recurring feature of Australia’s highly variable environment, and are exacerbated by a changing climate. The Vic Hub works to enhance the drought preparedness and resilience of Victoria’s agricultural industries, the environment and regional communities.  Read more 

Through wide-ranging engagement with industry and community stakeholders, we broker connections between the best available research and community and industry needs. Co-design with farmers, industry and regional communities leads to adoption of innovations to improve economic, environmental and social resilience to drought.

Get in touch through the contact details or by engaging with our projects, grants or many “shopfronts” at our partner organisations.
