Drought has significant impact on the wellbeing of people and communities across Tropical North Queensland.
Drought affects all industries but particularly Tropical North Queensland agriculture industries including beef, sugar, vegetable, dairy, citrus and tropical fruit.
The Australian Government is contributing $8 million over 4 years through the Future Drought Fund. Hub partners are providing co-contributions of $18.5 million over 4 years.
Through the Hub, farmers, Indigenous landholders, communities, researchers and business have come together and co-designed approaches and solutions for drought resilience in Tropical North Queensland.

We are developing educational materials to help support Australian producers, farmers and land managers understand the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) framework.
ESG is a framework that can help producers to address sustainability issues, enhance sustainability performance, increase resilience, reduce risks and create opportunities.
It is no longer a niche concept. ESG standards are now essential for promoting sustainability in agriculture and creating long-term value in agricultural production.
Six of the Drought Resilience Adoption and Innovation Hubs collaborated on a ‘Managing Rangelands for Drought Resilience’ project which established demonstration sites across Australia to showcase technologies and techniques that use mapping to improve rangeland management.
Working with landholders, Southern Gulf NRM, MaxusAI and James Cook University, the TNQ Drought Hub project aimed to develop and test an approach to rapidly quantify the amount and distribution of Mitchell grass tussocks across a range of grazing land types in north-west Queensland, using high-resolution drone imagery and artificial intelligence.
