The Tasmanian Drought Resilience Adoption and Innovation Hub

The Tasmanian Drought Resilience Adoption and Innovation Hub - or the TAS Farm Innovation Hub - is one of a network of hubs established across Australia through the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund.

We know that farming well today means planning for tomorrow. Using good data, trialling new ideas, and learning from each other helps farms stay productive and adaptable as conditions shift.

The Hub brings together Tasmanian farmers, advisors, researchers and community and farming groups to share knowledge, build skills, and support practical solutions that strengthen climate resilience across our farming landscapes.
