Summary:Australia is the only country on the planet that has a non-annual climate cycle and this poses real challenges for an agricultural sector based on practices which were developed for the relative predictability of a European climate. Since 1989 official Government policy in Australia has moved towards acceptance of this reality and rejected the notion that drought is a natural disaster in favour of a policy approach based on risk management.
