Voices of Resilience shares real stories from farmers and community members across Tasmania’s Derwent Valley and Central Highlands who know drought firsthand.

The series explores the challenges of living and working through dry seasons, and the perseverance, innovation, and community connections that help people adapt and keep going.

These are stories of challenge, change and resilience.

In this episode of Voices of Resilience, we chat with Tasmanian farmer Dr Will Bignell about his experience with drought and how science and technology are helping farmers manage their properties more efficiently.

Will shares how new tools and better access to information can help farmers make informed decisions, adapt to changing conditions, and prepare for dry times.
