Fantastic team effort by our Rural economies research teams and regional partners from the Cape to Quilpie! @DAFQld @DAFFgov @MurrayWatt @D_LittleproudMP @UQ_News @CQU @jcu @ILSE_UniSQ
The team at @ResearchRural have had a busy time lately, developing five pilot drought plans across Queensland, engaging over 400 regional stakeholders in preparing for drought. Their efforts were recognised at last night's @The_AIPM Queensland awards. #FutureDroughtFund
