The ACIAR funded project “Bridging the Gap Between SCF and Decision Makers in Agriculture” essentially deals with managing climate variability through better forecasts and better utilization of these forecasts by decision makers. A crop farmer has a healthier chance of going through seasonal abnormalities and coming out unscathed if he is well informed. Accurate seasonal climate forecasts would allow for proper weighing of risks. The decision to push through with the cropping season would then be ideally a product of an enlightened process.
