Dear subscriber,

The Future Drought Fund (FDF) is interested in hearing from users of the My Climate View tool and the Climate Services for Agriculture (CSA) program.

Funded under the FDF, the CSA Program has developed My Climate View, a farmer-focused digital climate information product that addresses the long-term strategic challenges facing farmers and farm advisers.

The tool presents agriculturally relevant past and future climate information in one place so farmers and their advisers can explore climate trends for specific commodities at a local scale.

You are invited to complete a short confidential survey about your perspectives and experiences in using the tool or being involved with the CSA Program.

Please complete the confidential survey here: https://forms.office.com/r/ri41Z7w8iT

The survey will be open for two weeks and closes on Monday, 11 November 2024.

The insights gained through the survey will be used in an independent evaluation of the CSA program which was delivered by the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) and CSIRO between 2021 and 2024. The main purpose of the evaluation is to inform the future design and delivery of the CSA program while meeting general program accountability requirements.

The evaluation is being undertaken by Clear Horizon Consulting. This survey is anonymous and the responses you give will not be linked to you or your organisation. The responses will be collated by Clear Horizon into a report for the Department, BoM and CSIRO.

This survey has questions that include multiple choice responses and provide space for you to add additional detail where relevant. The survey should take no longer than 10-15 minutes to complete.

If you have any issues with the survey, please contact Caitlin Holford at caitlin.h@clearhorizon.com.au.

Thanks for your ongoing interest in how the Australian Government is helping Aussie farmers prepare for drought.
