Congratulations to the TNQ Drought Hub drought resilience scholarship recipients.
The hub recently offered scholarship opportunities to JCU students who were interested in undertaking an Honours or Masters project that would contribute to drought resilience and the current and future agricultural needs of Tropical North Queensland. Eight students were awarded up to $5,000 each for one year to conduct regionally focused drought resilience projects that will build academic knowledge in the agricultural sector.
Congratulations to:
These projects were required to align with the TNQ Drought Hub’s priorities that encompass drought and climate change adaptation, land management, innovation and technology, enhancing skills and human capacity, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait agricultural enterprise.
These priorities help guide the key challenges and opportunities for agricultural businesses, their towns and communities and regions within Tropical North Queensland to build drought resilience and preparedness.
