Baselining drought report

Our 'Baselining Drought - Developing a baseline understanding of farmer and community perceptions of drought' report stems from a key activity in the Hub’s Operational Plan to develop a baseline understanding of farmer and community perceptions of drought.

Southern NSW Hub Director, Ms Cindy Cassidy, said the report focuses on the most recent drought examining key themes of agricultural productivity and profit, the impact on communities, Indigenous values and the landscape.

Ms Cassidy said this is an important starting point for a wider conversation about building resilience, given the potential for more frequent and intense droughts as our climate changes.

“We want to continue to hear from farmers and regional communities about their experience and what they need to build capacity to respond to future challenges,” she said.
