Farmers call for national strategy on climate change and agriculture

• IPCC report finds reduction in global heating requires transformation of food production and land management
• Climate crisis reducing land's ability to sustain humanity, says IPCC

An Australian farming group has called for a fully funded national strategy to deal with climate change and agriculture, warning farmers don't have enough support to manage increasing risks associated with global heating.

It comes as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change special report on climate change and land, released in Geneva on Thursday, found limiting global heating to below 2C can only be achieved by reducing emissions from all sectors - including land and food.
