Productivity and Profitability
Climate change poses significant challenges for Australian agriculture. In particular, farmers are being effected by changing local weather conditions, and facing more frequent and more extreme weather events, which together are already having an impact on farm profitability.
The Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry publishes periodic reports on the current and projected impacts of climate change on farming. The most recent report found that:
Further adaptation and productivity gains will be required to maintain competitiveness in international markets
New and more diverse income streams, such as renewable energy generation and carbon farming, is important for long term profitability
Farmers are experiencing this impact firsthand. An FCA survey conducted in November 2023 found that 92% of farmers have experienced changes to seasonal conditions and more climate-related impacts to their business over the last 3 years. The survey also found that climate change is viewed as the greatest threat to farming’s future in Australia.
