The Australian dairy industry has been on an intensification pathway over recent decades, utilising higher levels of inputs to produce more milk. This pathway has been questioned in light of projections for warmer and more variable future climates. This research set out to explore how three dairy farm systems in Gippsland, South Australia and Tasmania might perform under predicted climate changes out to 2040 and how they could adapt to a changing climate. This video documents the research outcomes of the DBFC project.
