The objective of the Horticulture Climate Change Action Plan is to commence answering the question – “What are the Impacts of climate change on selected horticultural regions and production systems in those regions, and what Adaptation Strategies will be useful in addressing these impacts?”
For individual growers, outcomes of the Action Plan can start to answer the question – “What does climate change mean for my farm and my business?”
The action plan identifies and discusses in detail three strategies for the horticulture industry. These strategies are:
1. Adaptation
2. Mitigation
3. Information, Awareness and Communication
