Colette Glazik is an ethical Merino wool and lamb producer on ‘Lewisham’ in the Northern Midlands of Tasmania. Lewisham recently purchased 900ha of land to conserve and protect it from logging. Climate change is their greatest on-farm challenge with climatic uncertainties producing difficulties in terms of stocking rates, available food stocks and income. The family’s mitigation strategies include a major investment in irrigation, both in water and infrastructure.

Sophie Angove is a winemaker in the McLaren Vale and Riverland regions of South Australia. Like many ag industries, one of viticulture's main challenges is unpredictable weather conditions.
@angovewine sees a range of ecosystem services, provided by functional biodiversity, that the ag industry in Australia could be utilising within production systems, including pest and disease management, soil moisture retention, reduced erosion and efficient nutrient cycling.

This Christmas, we’re asking you to make a one-off donation so we can keep providing farmers with free ‘We Support Farmers for Climate Action’ farm gate signs.
Our farm gate signs are one of the most powerful ways to ensure our pollies and communities know that farmers care about strong climate policy to protect Australian farming.
Sick of seeing the impact climate change was having on their industry and the mental health of their central Queensland community, Grazier neighbours Melanie Shannon and Melinee Leather, decided to do something about it.
They've formed a community of people working together to share learnings and share information around technology.

Our volunteers Steph and Steve recently held a Farmers for Climate Action stall at the Where Food Begins festival in SA for World Soil Day, where they bumped into chef and Tassie farmer Matt Evans! We are so grateful for all the efforts of our hardworking volunteers like Steph and Steve in 2022, and can't wait to see what we achieve together next year ☀️

We need to shift as quickly as possible to a renewably powered electricity grid.
But this requires building 1000s of kms of transmission lines. We want to make sure communities and farmers benefit from this new infrastructure.
Join in and help ensure communities and regional Australians benefit from the move to 100% renewable energy.
Lou Flohr farms in the low rainfall region of SA.
The changing climate has led to declining rainfall and made growing conditions more variable. In response, they have shifted from growing just grain crops to a mixture of grain and fodder.
