File photo of grazing cattle raising a cloud of dust as they scratch for food on a drought-affected farm near Goulburn
Grazing cattle raise a cloud of dust as they scratch for food on a drought-affected farm near Goulburn in this October 29, 2006 file photo. Already one of the world's top agricultural producers, Australia has ambitions of becoming a "food bowl" to Asia as it tries to diversify its economy to counter the waning of a decade-long mining boom that brought the country riches. That goal is threatened by its harsh climate - private insurance to protect against drought is generally too expensive for farmers, undermining their capacity to invest to boost output as they must if Australia is to feed more of Asia's fast-growing middle class.
