About us
The Southern NSW Drought Resilience Adoption and Innovation Hub is funded
by the Commonwealth Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry. Charles
Sturt University leads a consortium to deliver user-centred innovation,
research, commercialisation and adoption as part of the Australian
Government's Future Drought Fund.
Hosted by Charles Sturt University, the Hub's primary mission is to support
farmers and rural communities in the Southern NSW region in preparing for and
mitigating drought impacts and capitalising on opportunities for recovery from
drought. We achieve this by working with our partner organisations to provide
farmers and communities with valuable knowledge, tools, and practices and by
undertaking research were there are knowledge gaps. The Hub acts as a bridge,
connecting them with local agricultural experts, innovative practices, and
cutting-edge research and technologies.
Since inception in mid-2021, the Hub has secured an additional $20.7 million
in cash investment across over ten projects. These projects are delivering on-
the-ground impact for southern NSW, in areas including irrigation efficiency,
stock management areas, improved pasture systems, on-farm water management and
nitrogen decisions.
We are a university of the land and people of our regions. True to the
character of regional Australia we have gumption, we have soul and we
collaborate with others. We develop holistic, far-sighted people who help
their communities grow and flourish.
The Wiradjuri phrase yindyamarra winhanganha means the wisdom of
respectfully knowing how to live well in a world worth living in. This phrase
represents who we are at Charles Sturt University – our ethos. It comes from
traditional Indigenous Australian knowledge, but it also speaks to the mission
of universities – to develop and spread wisdom to make the world a better
place.
Harnessing technology, we thrive as a distributed yet connected community,
welcoming and engaging with people across Australia and the world.
