This five-part series from the Soil Wealth ICP project presents a risk-based approach to assessing resilience to climate extremes and impacts for vegetable and melon businesses.

The series has been produced to help Australian vegetable and melon growers to:

  • Look at risk and resilience across multiple connected areas of the business 
  • Create a useful action plan for addressing individual risks and improving overall adaptability to climate extremes 
  • Find other helpful sources of information and support on the areas of risk and resilience. 

This Overview of the Building Resilience Series presents a holistic model of farm business risk and resilience, and suggests a method for carrying out an individual risk assessment. It also provides links to other useful tools that have been developed for Australian farmers to assess and improve their risk and resilience to the effects of climate extremes.
