Wudinna Consultation Workshop - SA Drought Hub Resilient Soils Project

The SA Drought Hub is an exciting initiative which brings together a dynamic network of primary producers, industry groups, researchers, government agencies, universities, agribusinesses, traditional owners, and others to work towards a common vision to strengthen the drought resilience and preparedness of our farms and regional communities in South Australia.

SA Drought Hub

This consultation aims to capture info to support growers to optimise water capture, storage and utilisation in crop and pasture systems.

In 2021, SA Drought Hub community consultations identified 991 community ideas for improving drought resilience, and improving soil water resilience emerged as a key theme among these ideas.To address this priority, the Hub is scoping up a statewide project with the theme of Drought Resilient Soils. This project is seeking opportunities to further extend previous work and knowledge to help support growers to optimise water capture, storage and utilisation in crop and pasture systems.Rather than being tied to a specific funding round, this work aims to consolidate knowledge from previous projects to identify current gaps, regional priorities, and extension opportunities across SA. The intent is to be on the front foot for upcoming funding rounds with ideas for local validation, demonstration trials, and targeted activities which drive adoption of drought resilience and preparedness strategies.The team is connecting with growers, researchers, farming groups, and agencies to:<ul><li>Identify extension and adoption opportunities.</li><li>Highlight knowledge gaps and unfunded priorities.</li><li>Collate previous project outcomes and lessons learnt.</li></ul>Come along to a consultation workshop to contribute your ideas to help develop a future project. Your input will help shape targeted, practical solutions to enhance drought resilience through better soil and water management.
