Under a shifting, yet uncertain climate we must push our agricultural systems to evolve. In finding the best way forward, where farms remain profitable while benefiting the environment, we need to understand the diversity of impacts. Equally it will require a lot of practical know-how from landholders.

These stories are farmers own experiences in adapting their land, farming systems and businesses. They tap into the energy and expertise of landholders who have already begun this journey. They demonstrate, for the benefit of the wider industry, how positive steps can be taken on farms to prosper as climatic conditions shift across NSW.

The Farmer Stories series was funded by NSW Department of Primary Industries' ‘Climate Smart Pilots - Demonstrating Adaptation Program’, through the Primary Industries Climate Change Research Strategy and the NSW Government’s Climate Change Fund.
