The first component of this project has focused on understanding how to improve the management of climate variability from a horticulture perspective, with an emphasis on temperature variability. This project has also sought 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 in these selected regions, outcomes of this work can start to answer the question – “What does climate change mean for my farm and business?”
