Vic Drought Resilience Adoption & Innovation Hub
The Victoria Drought Resilience Adoption & Innovation Hub (Vic Hub) links regional communities with the latest science and research to help strengthen drought preparedness.
It is a platform for exchanges of information, knowledge, technologies and networking with leading industry, community and academic stakeholders to drive the trials and adoption of innovations that will improve economic, environmental and social resilience to droughts and other extreme climatic events.
One of eight Hubs established nationally through the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund (FDF), the state-wide collaboration is led by the University of Melbourne, with headquarters at UoM’s Dookie Campus, and includes five farming-systems organisations (Birchip Cropping Group, Food & Fibre Gippsland, Mallee Regional Innovation Centre, Riverine Plains and Southern Farming Systems), four universities (UoM, Deakin, Federation and La Trobe), and the State Government (through Agriculture Victoria).
