A vinyard in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales, Australia. Victoria and New South Wales have been impacted by the worst drought in living memory. The crops will not grow without irrigation water which the farmers have to purchase. Vinyards are having to spend up to $100,000 a year on irrigation water which hugely impacts on their profitability. In some areas vinyard owners have had to give up altogether, as they could no longer afford to purchase water. Climate change is likely to make drought conditions more common, impacting on crop production and food security in many areas. These vines have been left to wither and die as the farmer could no longer afford to irrigate them. Ironically the area has had some rain which has allowed the grass to grow, but is too late for the vines.
