The Australian vegetable industry has recognised that issues around climate variability and climate change may affect growers and the broader industry. This review was commissioned by the industry in 2013 to provide a comprehensive assessment of the threats and opportunities, and to develop a plan for the future. The Australian vegetable industry is in a strong position to deal effectively with climate change and vegetable growers have a greater capacity to adapt to change more than most other rural industries.
