3. The attributions and attempts of Australian government to curb carbon and greenhouse emissions to prevent climate changes that alter performance in horticulture
4. Policies formulated towards depletions in horticultural performance
5. Importance of the policies based on trade, climate changes and trends, and impacts of the policies on performance of the sector
Feedback from Lecturer:
Shorten the intro/background part so that it is not too long. The first paragrapth about basic info about horticulture is not important at all except for the last two sentences
– Except for this introduction, none of the key issues required in the project draft is addressed. You need to discuss:
– How CC impacts your business: See what happens when the world becomes hotter, more extreme events (droughts, heatwaves, storms, floods, haistone, sea level rise, ocean acidification ect), changing in weather pattern (rainfall, sunlight, cloud formation ect), and the easier spread of infectious diseases/pest physically affect your affect your production capacity and distribution capacity as well as workers’ health in the sector. Note that workers in this sector has to work long hour under the sun.
– C tax impacts: Whether your industry/firm is subject to tax or not. Note that not all industries are subject to tax and not all firms are, only when they reach a certain level of CO2 that they will. Does the tax indirectly affect the firm, for example through the higher price of inputs (if inputs are subject to tax) or changes in demand (due to a substitute/complement products being taxed or subsidized). If you are taxed, are you eligible for any of the government’s “industry assistance” programs?
– DAP impacts: How your firm/industry benefit from DAP? Is it indirectly affected if one of its substitute/complement product benefit from DAP?
– What opportunities/threads/adaptation strategies are for the firm/industry. At a bare minimum, you have to look at the 8 types of risks, different opportunities and types of adatation (Module 3) and relate them to your business
