MGMT 103: Climate Change Impacts on NZ Agriculture Bibliography

This annotated bibliography examines the multifaceted impacts of climate change on New Zealand's agricultural sector. It compiles and analyzes various academic sources, including journal articles and reports, to provide a comprehensive overview of the topic. The bibliography addresses key areas such as the effects of changing temperatures and rainfall patterns on pasture production and dairy farming, the vulnerabilities of agricultural systems to extreme weather events, and the potential health impacts on both animals and plants. The included sources also explore the costs and benefits of climate change adaptation strategies, the need for setting objectives in managing climate change impacts, and the influence of climate change on grazing intensity and livestock supply. Furthermore, the bibliography considers the broader implications of climate change on agriculture in developing countries and the potential for innovative measures to mitigate negative effects. The collection of sources highlights the importance of understanding and addressing climate change challenges to ensure the sustainability and resilience of New Zealand's agricultural practices.

According to this article, most people believe that human activities within the society are
the major causes of climate change that affects agriculture. This article records that despite the
presence of vast scientific agreement, human operation cause change in climate that has huge
impact on agriculture in every region such as New Zealand. This report records that a 2014
delegate of national analysis found that under fifty percent of people in NZ feel that adjustments
in climate is actually occurring to cause any change in agriculture within the region. With
changes in climate in the region, it is clear in this article that food security of New Zealand is
affected greatly.

This article addresses how effects of change in climate and its adjustment options for
moderate pasture founded on a system of dairy farming. The authors record that temperate
pasture that is based on dairy farming systems and comprises of low contribution of additional
feed is susceptible to alterations in climate that occur via variation in supply of feed alongside
nutritive worth. This article also records that predicted change in climate in NZ as well as
southeast Australia is the major factor that affects pasture used in dairy farming in the region.
For instance, it is clear from this article that production of pasture might reduce in the regions
with a reduced amount of rainfall or severe flooding.

Adaptation to Climate Change in New Zealand Agriculture: What do we know do

This report records that increased cases in temperature and changes in the amount of
rainfall are expected to happen over New Zealand during the coming days. Therefore, according
to this report, these rises in temperature can lead to an increase in the concentration of
greenhouse gases from human activity that has adverse effects on agricultural production in the
region. This article records that drought-prone area in New Zealand as a result of high
temperature can hurt agriculture as the area cannot support the practice of crop farming. The
adverse weather conditions have been reported by the authors to be the major factor that leads to
low production in agricultural produce in New Zealand. This article is important as the authors
address some costs and benefits that climate change has when the New Zealand government can
adapt to different climate changes.

The study on this article show that changes in climate has huge impacts on health and this
affects both animals and plants that are components of agriculture within NZ. The article focuses
on assessing the vulnerabilities of different islands to the impacts of health of variation in climate
and designed adaptation policies that aim at minimizing such dangers to agricultural activities.

The use of both qualitative and qualitative techniques had been used to achieve the set objective
on this study. However, it is recorded that the highest priority climate-sensitive health dangers in
agricultural operations in NZ comprise of trauma that happen from extreme events of wealth
conditions. It also arises due to heat-related illness among agricultural elements leading to
decline in food security within the region such as NZ.

The article explains that there is a need for any government to set objectives that are
essential in evaluating management adaptation actions that can help in addressing the impacts of
change in climate in different agricultural sectors. For instance, the author reports that cases of
unlikely change in climate are important as those changes reduce production of various
agricultural sectors such as fisheries. In NZ, their article gives some of the objectives that the
people need to use to decrease diverse impacts of adjustments in climate in different agricultural
sector. The authors record that idea that includes monitoring, management, appropriate
governance of every operation tend to reduce negative impacts of climate changes.

state that wit increase affluence witnessed in most nations that are still developing, the command
for yields of livestock is increasing, together with growing pasture necessity adds to demands on
reserves for foodstuff along with creation of energy. Change in climate has had various impacts
on grazing supply. According to the results of a study conducted within this article, it is evident
that during extreme cases of weather such as drought and flooding the grazing supply has been
negatively affected making livestock supply in NZ to reduce. However, it also records that
during the normal rainy season and moderate temperate there are more razing supplying the
region leading to high livestock supply in different markets within NZ.

The article illustrates various ways in which changes in climate can impact agriculture in
NZ. The presentation focuses on global scale production of agriculture in various regions while
presenting projections of such changes in relevant departments such as meteorology. From the
study in this article, it is clear in the findings that agriculture in NZ is strongly influenced by
climate together with the weather. Changes in climate are expected to impact agriculture by
potentially threatening different establishments of aspects that deal with systems of farming but
also offering opportunities for improvements. The authors conclude by stating that there is a
need for current authorities in NZ to adjust to current practices to maintain productivity in
agriculture and in some instance focus on optimum types of farming that can deal with such
changes being experienced.

The author illustrates the manner changes in climate in region such as Turkey that can be
the same case in NZ as they are within the same locality. The effect of global warming those
results from a change in climate has been seen to have adverse effects in agricultural practices
around the globe and NZ is not spared in any way. The author reports that extreme weather
conditions caused by global warming such as rising in sea tides, the formation of ice n earth
surface, and increase in temperature reduces production of agriculture in every nation. Besides,
this article also records that climate changes cause drought that makes most plants and crops to
dry up leading to deaths of animals that depend on such crops and thus reduces food security in a
region.

The study records that agriculture in every region globally plays an essential function in
food as well as nutritional security in places such as Nepal and NZ as well. Changes in climate
tend to negatively affect agricultural activities particularly in agriculture conducted in the hill of
each country. Some of the problems recorded ion this article that climate changes can cause to a
country like NZ comprise of change in food security, reduction or increase in water resources,
floods, drought, changes in forestry, changes in biodiversity, and public health that affect
economies of the country. Some of the recorded aspects that lead to changes or vulnerability of

The author of the article reports that change in climate in NZ will probably possess huge
influence on agricultural through variations in climate inconsistency along with climate limits.
For instance, growers alongside farmers in NZ are progressively needed to handle danger
connected with actions of climate and these processes persist into the prospect operations with
the prospect of intensified danger in various areas. Besides, this article records that Eastern
regions of NZ could experience cases of more frequent as well as harsher droughts throughout
the mixture of advanced standard temperatures, compact cases of rain, and inconsistency of
rainfall. Such variations lead to variation on the agricultural operations in those regions as well.
