Abstract
The rice industry has been highly successful in increasing water use efficiency over its history, and must continue to do so in adapting to climatic change. Rice farmers will need to consider a wide range of potential farming system changes (new varieties/crops, rotations, water priorities, irrigation methods, farm layouts, use of seasonal climate forecasts in management) to adapt to predicted changes in on-farm climate and water supply over the coming century. Research into the viability of new farming system ideas, in comparison with traditional systems, is urgently needed to allow for future farm planning.
