Response to climate chnage
Challenges
physical impacts
Biophysical factors: moderate warming, variable rainfall
Decline soil moisture (specif in SA)
Vary with seasons/events
eg. frost duration and timing= reduction in fruit yeild
Fact 1
Atmospheric CO2 conc.
increasing growth, distb. and abundance of unwanted weeds/pests/diseases.
New species =invasive
no adoption
eg. cattle grazing/prod = decline in pasture prod and quality
Dealing with: heat stress, increased soil erosion (due to Droughts and storms)
Opportunities
Food markets change due to demand for: high protien foods, global foos stock drop, increase in food $ and policital conflict.
interplay between $ and yield = decision making
Technology = increase prod.tivity
eg. precision argiculture, genome editing, sundrop
Reducing Greenhouse gasses
Carbon farming intiative
earn tadeable carbon credits
store carbon and reduce GGE
financial decisions= new gateways and markets
Impacts on
production
trade competitiveness
changes in demand for products
