Growing Kai Under Increasing Dry: a rolling symposium on drought, climate change and primary sector resilience
Throughout May 2021, together with the Deep South Challenge and Our Land and Water National Science Challenges we held three ‘background’ webinars, each exploring a different aspect of drought research, culminating in a face-to-face symposium event at Te Papa on May 31, 2021.
It was extremely valuable to bring together affected farmers and growers, industry leaders, scientists and policy-makers to listen to each other, make connections, and shape a future direction. The three coordinating National Science Challenges are developing an evaluation report to identify themes and future pathways, so stay tuned.
