The Future Drought Fund (Drought Resilience Funding Plan 2020 to 2024) Determination 2020 outlines a strategic framework for allocating funding to initiatives that build drought resilience across Australia's agricultural sector, landscapes, and communities. The Fund has three inter-connected strategic priorities: economic resilience for an innovative and profitable agricultural sector environmental resilience for sustainable and improved functioning of farming landscapes social resilience for resourceful and adaptable communities.The plan emphasises public benefit, requiring that funded projects deliver outcomes accessible to many rather than serving narrow commercial interests. It encourages co-investment and aims to avoid duplication of existing government programs. The funding principles require alignment with the plan’s vision, aim, strategic priorities and objectives. Projects must not provide in-drought assistance and should be designed to strengthen long-term resilience. The Plan promotes innovation, community-led approaches, streamlined eligibility, and collaboration with existing networks, including Indigenous organisations. The vision is for a resilient and profitable farming sector, a sustainable environment, and adaptable communities. The aim is to enhance public good through drought resilience. Strategic priorities are structured around economic, environmental and social resilience. Objectives include improving agricultural productivity, enhancing natural capital, and strengthening community wellbeing. Each strategic priority is supported by targeted actions. Economic resilience focuses on data-driven decision-making, innovation, and business planning. Environmental resilience supports improved natural resource management and sustainable practices. Social resilience promotes community planning, leadership development, and infrastructure that enhances wellbeing.
