Climate change is posing new challenges for agricultural systems, such as increased risk of flooding, summer heat stress, and more intense pest and weed pressures, all of which have implications for the future of food security. The following interactive education resource aimed at high school students in years 7-10 links scientific climate knowledge with innovative climate adaptation activities occurring within the Food and Fibre industry. Students will learn the science behind climate change, understand the impact climate change is having on farming practices and different ways that farmers are adapting to future proof their businesses against climate change. Each lesson has interactive components for students to discuss what they have learnt and complete activities to extend their learning. The third lesson steps students through an activity using an online climate analysis app to compare and contrast climate statistics for different agricultural regions of Australia. The resources are complete with PowerPoint presentations, teacher notes and student worksheets.
