Australia: Climate change will force farmers to adapt - CSIRO
Scientists The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO)warned that as the Australian continent is becoming drier and hotter due to climate change, farmers will have to adapt to cope with the new conditions, reports ABC News.
"Across most of southern Australia, the projections of the future are for warmer and drier conditions, so when we experience warm and dry conditions, growing those crops, canola, wheat, barley, etc. will be more challenging in the future," said CSIRO climate applications scientist Steve Crimp.
