Funded by the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund (FDF), the South West WA Drought Resilience Adoption and Innovation Hub’s (SW WA Hub) role is to help farmers and regional communities prepare for, and adapt to, the impacts of drier, warmer seasons.

The Hub plays a unique role in the agricultural ecosystem by bringing together researchers, agribusinesses, farmers, grower groups, industry leaders, and government agencies.

Led by the GGA, the hub is utilising and leveraging the power of the GGA grower group network through a ‘hub and spoke’ model to promote ground-up innovation and help farmers enhance resilience to an increasingly variable climate in the South-West WA region. 

Twenty-two grower groups are among the Hub’s more than 50 consortium partners, which represent all segments of the WA agricultural supply chain and are providing cash and in-kind co-contributions. 

This focus on collaboration enables the SW WA Hub to make agricultural research impactful and accessible, increasing innovation and commercialisation opportunities.

SEPWA is a Regional Node Organisation for the South-West WA Hub.
