Cape York NRM and the TNQ Drought Hub’s SATSIE program are joining forces with local councils and businesses to support agricultural projects and food security through the Australian government funded ‘Cultivating Climate-Smart and Sustainable Agriculture’ on Cape York Peninsula.

The first stage of the project will establish Communities of Practice with Indigenous and non-Indigenous landholders and community-based agricultural enterprises led by Aboriginal Shire Councils to support peer-to-peer learning and collaboration. The CoPs will work at the business, community and regional scale to identify priority needs for food security.

“Working holistically on the food and agriculture system at these different scales with local communities and businesses and a broad range of partner stakeholders we hope to align investments and capacity-building to achieve long-term food security for communities in Cape York Peninsula.”
– Dr Jim Turnour, SATSIE Program Lead and Cape York NRM Chair
