The new challenge for Australian agriculture

"National and international policy responses to human-induced climate change present Australian agriculture with both threats and opportunities. The future success of agriculture in Australia will depend very much on how adequately the sector positions itself in responding to this issue. Greenhouse emissions trading effectively putting a price on greenhouse emissions is likely to be one of the most important policy measures to be adopted by Australian governments in response to climate change. This discussion paper brings together information on the broad range of matters that need to be considered by the agricultural sector in developing a response to climate change policies and, in particular, to proposals to develop a national greenhouse emissions trading system in Australia." -- Abstract.
