National Farmers Federation partner with Climate Action farmers

Lucinda Corrigan, a stud cattle breeder
on the south west slopes of NSW,
 says winters are shorter and less severe.

Lobby group the National Farmers Federation (NFF) has joined forces with Farmers for Climate Action (FCA) to advocate for emission reduction that helps grow agriculture.

NFF president Brent Findlay said it would help influence policy measures on tackling influence policy.

The FCA group has drawn farmers from across Australia, who have been through industry-led programs like: Managing Climate Variability funded by research and development corporations, the Victorian Primary Industries Adaptation research group and the Climate Champions Program.

"As a nation we can do more to reduce emissions, and farmers we've surveyed agree on the need to cap the temperature increase because they're seeing the changes on their properties," said FCA committee member Lucinda Corrigan, a cattle breeder and former board director of Meat and Livestock Australia.
