Summary:

"Climate change is making weather patterns more extreme and unpredictable, with serious consequences for Australia's agricultural production. More frequent and intense heatwaves and extreme weather events are already affecting food prices in Australia. Australia is extremely vulnerable to disruptions in food supply through extreme weather events. Australia's international competitiveness in many agricultural markets will be challenged by the warming climate and changing weather patterns. If the current rate of climate change is maintained, adaptation to food production challenges will be increasingly difficult and expensive."--Publisher.
