Future Drought Fund – Farm Business Resilience Program
The Future Drought Fund (FDF) is a long-term Australian Government investment fund that provides a sustainable source of funding to help Australian farmers and communities become more prepared for, and resilient to, the impacts of drought. Funding will be invested from the FDF across Australia every year for projects to help strengthen drought resilience in Australian primary producers.
The Department of Primary Industries and Regions (PIRSA) is coordinating the delivery of two Future Drought Fund programs in South Australia, including the Farm Business Resilience Program.
The Wine Grape Council South Australia (WGCSA) has successfully sought grant funding to deliver a Farm Business Resilience Program for 60 wine grape sector participants in the Riverland, Limestone Coast and Langhorne Creek regions.
