Other program focuses include preparing for and managing future droughts and innovative ways to build drought resilience across agriculture as well as allied industries.

These hubs are intended to transform drought resilience of pastoralists, farmers, traditional owners and communities. The hubs will build greater connectivity across WA to drive the uptake of new research and innovation in collaborative and co-designed projects designed to deliver practical on the ground outcomes. The Grower Group Alliance (GGA) is the lead contractor for the South West Hub.
