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’re bringing you 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.
