Farmers for Climate Action
www.farmersforclimateaction.org.auFarmers for Climate Action grew out of a meeting of frustrated farmers in the Blue Mountains in 2015. Many had spent decades voicing their concerns about climate change to no avail. They resolved to get to work. That year, more than 100 farmers signed a letter calling on the Federal Government to set stronger targets to reduce carbon pollution. Another group ran a crowdfunding campaign to send two young farmers, Joshua Gilbert and Anika Molesworth, to the UN Climate Talks in Paris. In 2016 we set ourselves up as a formal group and ran a nationwide survey of farmer attitudes towards climate change and renewable energy. More than 1300 farmers around Australia took part, and in November 2016 a delegation of farmers presented the Australian Farmers Climate Survey results to politicians and industry leaders in Canberra. Since 2017 we have been developing a responsive and expert team to work with farmers to help drive climate action in agriculture. With more and more viable climate solutions available, we are keener than ever to see strong climate action from governments, businesses and the community. Today we are the only farmer-led organisation that specialises in climate action. Where climate change movements have typically focussed on left-wing political parties, we are committed to bringing about multi-partisan political support for climate action and work across the political spectrum. We’d love you to join us in making this happen! Go to www.farmersforclimateaction.org.au/join
