Welcome to Part Two of Professor Andrew Campbell’s special report on the troubling plight of irrigation research and development in Australia.
In part one, Professor Campbell argued that despite an unprecedented investment in water, we have run down our irrigation research, with long-term implications for maintaining food production in the face of a changing climate and rising energy prices.
In part two, he warns we risk our losing our world-leading position in irrigation water use unless we adopt a coordinated approach.
