Feeding a Hungry Nation: Climate Change, Food and Farming in Australia

Short Summary of Resource
This report illustrates the way in which climate change may affect food supply in Australia, bothdirectly and indirectly
Detailed description of the resource
Rising temperatures, increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, and declining water availability in some of our most important agricultural regions pose significant risks for the nature, distribution, quality, and affordability of our food supply. At the same time, the Australian and global population continues to grow, competition for arable land continues to intensify, and our natural resource base continues to degrade, placing ever-increasing demands on food production systems.
