This project aims to improve the resilience of sheep producers in drought susceptible areas of Tasmania by supporting producers with complex decision making, and having experts in the regions that are trained to give ongoing support.
The project will boost drought preparedness and resilience capabilities of horticultural farmers and rural communities engaged in wine grape, almond and citrus production value chains across South Australia, Southern NSW, Victoria, and Tasmania. The Tas hub will establish demonstration sites for wine grapes and lead qualitative data collection and synthesis.
This project will fast-track direct support to Victorian, South Australian and Tasmanian cropping and livestock farmers in the management of pastures and use of livestock containment and feeding systems for drought resilience.
