An apple orchard near Shepperton, Victoria, Australia. This area of Victoria is renowned for its fruit crops, but like many areas of Victoria and New South Wales has been impacted by the worst drought in living memory. The crops will not grow without irrigation water which the farmers have to purchase. This farmer was spending $40, 000 a year on water which was impacting on his profitability. In some areas farmers have had to give up as they could no longer afford to purchase water. Climate change are likely to make drought conditions more common, impacting on crop production and food security in many areas.
