Participatory adaptation and mitigation strategies for climate change on mixed farms

Abstract

The past two years has been an extraordinary time to address climate change and the adaptation/mitigation strategies for mixed farming systems in the northern region with ongoing political debate and policy changes on carbon pricing, extreme rainfall and big floods. This project made major progress. It engaged a network of growers and advisers to make a lasting contribution, one that will help growers understand climate change, assess how future climate scenarios may impact on their business and profitability and develop their own farm strategies to manage them. These contributions will support growers to make more informed decisions into the future.
