Managing risk in a changing climate: making tactical decisions in the Wimmera-Mallee

Product Information

Farming under increased climate variability and climate change continues to challenge Australia’s farmers. While tactical decisions are often presented in a framework of best management practice, this framework often only looks at the current situation. The tactical decisions that farmers face are influenced by both the immediacy of the current situation, the lessons learnt from previous decisions, and factors such as family, debt, health and issues outside the best management practice framework.
