Climate Information to Farmers
Communicating weather and climate
Successful and sustainable farming communities throughout the world have survived and developed by mastering the ability to adapt farming systems to widely varying weather and climatic conditions. These skills and practices must be effectively integrated and applied to make agricultural production more reliable, more efficient and above all more equitable in the world at large. That is the theme of an international workshop held in Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia, from 18 to 20 May 2009 to improve the long-term sustainability of farming and agriculture through improving practical weather and climate information output for farmers world-wide.
