Abstract

Purpose: The aim of the study was to analyze the influence of climate change adaptation policies on sheep farming viability in Australia. Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries. Findings: Climate change adaptation policies in Australia have significantly influenced the viability of sheep farming in recent years. Research indicates that the implementation of targeted adaptation measures, such as improved pasture management and water conservation strategies, has helped mitigate the adverse impacts of climate change on sheep farming viability. Studies have shown that farms adopting these policies have experienced higher survival rates of livestock and increased profitability compared to those without such measures. Additionally, government support programs aimed at assisting sheep farmers in implementing climate adaptation strategies have been instrumental in enhancing the resilience of the sector. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Adaptation theory in environmental economics, resilience theory & theory of planned behavior (TPB) may be used to anchor future studies on analyze the impact of climate change on wheat yields in Australia. The enhancement of breeding programs focuses on practical genetic advancements to create drought and heat-resistant sheep varieties, addressing direct climate impacts on livestock. By advocating for government and industry funding for genetic research, the recommendations influence policy towards investing in long-term solutions for climate resilience.
气候变化适应政策对澳大利亚养羊业生存能力的影响
目的:本研究旨在分析气候变化适应政策对澳大利亚养羊业生存能力的影响。研究方法:本研究采用案头研究法。案头研究设计通常被称为二手数据收集。这主要是从现有资源中收集数据,因为与实地研究相比,它具有成本低的优势。我们目前的研究调查了已经出版的研究和报告,因为这些数据很容易通过在线期刊和图书馆获取。研究结果近年来,澳大利亚的气候变化适应政策极大地影响了养羊业的生存能力。研究表明,实施有针对性的适应措施(如改善牧场管理和水资源保护战略)有助于减轻气候变化对养羊业生存能力的不利影响。研究表明,与未采取这些措施的农场相比,采取这些政策的农场牲畜存活率更高,利润率也更高。此外,旨在帮助养羊户实施气候适应战略的政府支持计划也有助于提高养羊业的抗灾能力。对理论、实践和政策的独特贡献:环境经济学中的适应理论、恢复力理论和计划行为理论(TPB)可用于今后分析气候变化对澳大利亚小麦产量影响的研究。加强育种计划的重点是通过实际的基因进步来培育抗旱和抗热的绵羊品种,以应对气候对牲畜的直接影响。通过倡导政府和行业为基因研究提供资金,这些建议可影响政策,使其投资于气候适应力的长期解决方案。
