NSW Farmers change climate change policy

NSW Farmers has shifted its policy to recognise the impact of climate change on agriculture and urged politicians to act.

Mullaley farmer Angela Martin, a former NSW Farmers board member, said the change sends a clear signal to governments that climate change is an issue farmers deal with every day.

"Primary producers are on the front lines of seasonal variability, rising temperatures and more extreme weather, exacerbated by a changing climate," she said on the final day of the NSW Farmers conference in Sydney.
