CSIRO Report on Climate Change and Australian Agriculture.
The CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) has brought together the latest science from research groups around Australia, and released a national overview of climate change impacts and adaptation options for Australian agriculture.
Co-editor of the report, CSIRO scientist Dr Mark Howden, said it was time for agriculture to start focussing on proactive solutions. He said that “Adapting to climate change will involve everything from changes in crop varieties, through to improved seasonal forecasting, up to revised national policies and programs,” “For many agricultural businesses incremental changes may be enough, but some regions and industries will need to be open to more transformative changes.”
“The past climate is no longer a good guide to the future climate, so having the skills and resources to respond flexibly will be essential.” The report is available at http://www.csiro.au/resources/AgricultureAdaptationReport2008.html
