Managing Climate Risk in Agriculture

Coming up in Beechworth later this month is a conference farmers cannot afford to miss.

Managing climate risk in agriculture.

Farmers for Climate Action (FCA) will host the “Managing Climate Risk in Agriculture” conference on Thursday, October 25.

Spokesman for FCA, Corey White said, “From the back paddock to parliament, everyone’s talking about climate change. What does it mean for agriculture? What are the risks? What can farmers do? 

“Managing climate risk is now core business, with the future of farming, good food, tens of thousands of livelihoods, and whole communities at stake,” he said.

Mr White said the conference will involve producers and industry leaders.

He added that also featured would be scientific, legal, financial, health, market, and technology experts all with a message to help farmers and others better understand the climate risks, how to manage them, and within that, how agriculture can be climate smart. 

Details of the event, which is just $35 including lunch, can be found in the attached brochure.
