Project Information

Summary:

Project workshops and extension work provided a good precursor for many producers attending the Masters of Climate workshops. Strong involvement of agribusiness in delivering project to farmers gave a well-integrated perspective of the role of climate risk management in farm enterprises.

Next Steps: Project was aimed at fostering increased State agency investment in CRM and extension. So far there has not yet been a shift in resourcing in DAFWA to support this, though the project leader has made a suite of recommendations around this to DAFWA Executives.
