      abstract = {Impacts on Australian agriculture of projected climate  change are likely to be spatially and temporally diverse,  with many regions likely to experience increased downside  risk in agricultural production.  Some regions, such as  south-west Australia, are projected to be particularly at  risk of adverse outcomes associated with climate  change.

The rate and extent of warming, along with impacts  on rainfall distributions, are key determinants of  agricultural impacts and will affect the success of  adaptation strategies.  The likely gradual unfolding of  climate change should provide farmers in many regions and  industries with sufficient time to utilise or develop  adaptation strategies.  Many of these strategies are likely  to be based on farmers’ current responses to climate  variability.  Investments in R&D and innovation could be  important ingredients in facilitating farmers’ adaptation  to climate change. 

Farmers are likely to face additional  costs of capital adjustment due to climate change.  Investment in long-lived climate-dependent agricultural  assets such as irrigation infrastructure, vineyards and  agroforestry will become more problematic.  Investing in  ecological assets in rural regions, especially where these  assets may become stranded by climate change, also will be  increasingly problematic.},
