Growing Capacity in Seasonal Climate Risk Management in South-East Australia

Summary

Project focused on extension and adoption of climate risk management technologies. Recent survey results suggest the project’s online magazine The Break is highly regarded by subscribers and has had a positive impact on grower knowledge of climate and risk management issues. Project spearheaded an awakening within the Vic Govt of the need for CRM extension services for agribusiness and farmers. Has raised awareness amongst farmers and agribusiness of the role and importance of CRM.

Next Steps: Project leaves a legacy of ongoing Vic Govt investment in seasonal climate risk management activities – esp with ongoing publication of The Break and The Fast Break, & upskilling of DPI staff in climate risk.
