Description

Assessing climate risk for future food supply. The aim of this project is to assess the impacts of future disruptive climate events and disasters on Australia's food system. This will be achieved by developing a world-first Integrated Assessment Modelling Lab, a collaborative research platform for comprehensive assessment of the effects of extreme climate events (bushfires/drought/floods/cyclones) on Australia's food supply. The project will use this capability to assess impacts on Australia's national and international supply chains, industry sectors and on socio-economic groups. The outcomes will offer opportunities to improve national responses to the changing climate and build resilience by designing adaptation plans to safeguard national and international food supply chains.. Scheme: Discovery Early Career Researcher Award. Field: 4011 - Environmental Engineering. Lead: Prof Arunima Malik
