Agricultural Innovation Hubs Program (2022 - 2024)$2,556,029
- Description
- The University of Tasmania hosts one of eight Drought Resilience Adoption and Innovation Hubs established across Australia under the Commonwealth's Future Drought Fund. Hubs are intended to be enduring institutions. The current proposal is about the Commonwealth's call to expand the Hubs' remit to service four priority areas under the National Agricultural Innovation Agenda. If funded, the Hub in Tasmania will need to operate under two agreements: the current agreement for the 'Drought Hub' and a new agreement that is about developing the Hub's pathway to expansion, while continuing to deliver to the 'Drought Hub' under the current agreement. This proposal presents the Hub's Statement of Claims on its ability and commitment to deliver practical activities and a business case that supports the National Agricultural Innovation Agenda

Drought Resilience Tasmania - Actionable Knowledge and Solutions for Sustainable Prosperity (2021 - 2024)$9,714,009
- Description
- Water is a major asset for Tasmania linked to livelihoods, energy production, irrigated and rainfed agriculture, environmental management and conservation. Competing demands forwater intensify during droughts and as hot and dry years increase in number. Wise and fair water management requires a multi-stakeholder partnership to innovate for droughtresilience, optimal water management and self-reliance. Our Hub will enable drought preparedness in Tasmania through collective and co-designed actions that sustain Tasmania'shigh-value, clean, green international brand. We will engage with local knowledge and land stewardship through a deliberate and negotiated process and uphold the rights ofTasmanian Aboriginal people to benefit from innovations they enable. The Hub, for the first time, brings together the major players - farmers, land and water managers, researchers,and indigenous knowledge owners - who, together can reduce the risks associated with drought in Tasmania.

- Description
- *NESP 2 is the second round of the National Environmental Science Program, a $149 M program funded by the federal Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment, to:oConserve, protect and sustainably manage Australia's biodiversity, ecosystems, environment and heritage through research, information management, supporting natural resource management, establishing and managing Commonwealth protected areas, and reducing and regulating the use of pollutants and hazardous substances.*The Sustainable Communities and Waste hub is a new hub, that will be funded with $20M over 7 years to deliver research that supports:otargeted information and management tools to reduce the impact of plastic and other material on the environmentoapplied scenario modelling to support sustainable people-environment interactions in communities including urban heat island impacts and liveability analysisoeffective and efficient management options for hazardous waste, substances and pollutants throughout their lifecycle to minimise environmental and human health impactsomaintained and improved air quality*Two key aspects of the new hub structure particularly relevant to UTas are:oA focus on research on, and delivery to, urban and regional communitiesoIndigenous leadership is embedded throughout the program, and the hub must establish and maintain long-term, two-way partnerships with traditional owners and Indigenous communities.*The proposed consortia will be led by UNSW, and includes CSIRO and Monash, Swinburne and Curtin universities, in addition to UTas.*UTas is leading or co-leading 2 of the 4 themes (people-nature interactions and air quality)
