Monash University recently shared about the findings of investigations into the impact of climate change on wheat yields and farm profitability in Victoria’s major grain-producing regions – the Mallee and Wimmera regions.
Australia’s agricultural sector is a major contributor to the economy. The impact of climate change is predicted to affect the national economy and put the livelihoods of rural communities in peril.
But the wide divergence of climate conditions across the Australian continent means that the impact of climate change can differ substantially across different agricultural activities and regions.
