Southern NSW Drought Resilience Adoption and Innovation Hub - hosted by Charles Sturt University - connects farmers and rural communities with practical, modern solutions to adapt to a changing climate.

Our goal is to build a future where farmers and their communities are stronger, more adaptable, and better equipped to face the challenges of drought. We go beyond research, working to support the adoption of new technologies, tools, and ideas that improve drought and climate resilience.

Southern NSW Innovation Hub is one of eight hubs funded by the Australian Government's Future Drought Fund.
