This site aims to keep primary producers informed of the latest
developments in climate change and offers detailed information and data
for the south-west region. It includes specific information for the
various primary producers involved in the Forum, including dairying,
timber, fishing, livestock and cropping. Also has tips for how
primary producers could adapt to likely climate change and it also
highlights the potential impacts on specific industries in the south-west.
Another section of the website gives ideas to primary producers on how to
reduce their carbon footprint and explains the developing carbon trading
market. For livestock based industries there are also examples of what
likely costs of an emissions trading scheme could be for a farm and how
those emissions could be offset.
