The Future Drought Fund’s annual Science to Practice Forum, presented by Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, is on again, 6 – 8 June 2023.

The forum brings together farmers, researchers, government, industry, and the community to explore the innovative tools and practices helping our farmers and regions prepare for future drought.

Award-winning television journalist and presenter of ABC TV’s Landline, Pip Courtney, is hosting this year’s 3-day forum and will facilitate engaging discussions with keynote speakers, presenters and panel members.
