Project Information

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.
