Northern Australia is characterised by high rainfall variability and extended droughts that challenge sustainable and profitable management of grazing properties. To achieve drought resilience, emphasis must be placed on supporting livestock managers to prepare for drought as well as implementing appropriate drought response and recovery actions. Here we describe insights and learnings gained from working with scientists, industry development and extension officers, and property managers, to enable more profitable and drought resilient extensive livestock production systems across northern Australia. We provide examples from the modelling and analysis of hypothetical grazing properties representative of enterprises across northern Australia. To prepare for drought, we principally propose the application of the farm-management economics framework to identify investment strategies which can improve enterprise resilience through building wealth over the longer term. The critical first step in drought preparedness for beef businesses was the implementation of management strategies to achieve the optimal herd structure, steer sale age, and breeder body condition. Other key strategies to improve profitability across northern Australia were (1) addressing a phosphorus deficiency for cattle through effective supplementation and (2) establishing adapted perennial legume-grass pastures to improve steer nutrition. In addition, we identify the benefits of working closely with livestock managers and industry to gain adoption of proven technologies that effectively improve decision-making capacity and the drought preparedness of extensive livestock production systems. The usefulness of the farm-management economics approach to assess the relative value of alternative tactical destocking and restocking decisions during drought response and recovery is also discussed. These latter analyses can highlight important differences between options in terms of future profit and cash flow, as well as the ability to rapidly return the property to the most profitable herd structure and age of turnoff, with consideration of production and financial risk. Additionally, integrating pasture growth models with herd or flock economic models can provide insights into the effects, on profitability and sustainability, of alternative destocking and later restocking strategies over the longer term. Combined, the farm-management economics framework approach can support more informed decision-making by livestock producers and hence enable more profitable and drought resilient extensive livestock production systems. However, achieving drought resilience in the grazing lands of northern Australia will require emphasis on drought preparation, in addition to appropriate action in response and recovery phases of drought. Key to this approach is increasing the adoption of strategies that enhance drought preparedness.

北澳大利亚的特点是降雨多变性和干旱加剧，这对放牧财产的可持续和盈利管理提出了挑战。为了实现抗旱能力，必须重点支持牲畜管理者为干旱做准备，并采取适当的干旱应对和恢复行动。在这里，我们描述了与科学家，行业发展和推广人员以及物业经理合作所获得的见识和教训，以在整个澳大利亚北部建立更有利可图且抗旱的广泛畜牧生产系统。我们提供了来自澳大利亚北部企业代表的假设放牧特性建模和分析的示例。为了抗旱 我们主要建议应用农场管理经济学框架来确定可通过长期积累财富来提高企业抵御能力的投资策略。牛肉企业防旱的关键第一步是实施管理策略，以实现最佳的牛群结构，ste牛的销售年龄和种鸡的身体状况。其他提高澳大利亚北部利润率的关键策略是：（1）通过有效补充来解决牛的磷缺乏症；（2）建立适合的多年生豆类草牧场，以改善ste牛的营养。此外，我们发现与畜牧业管理者和畜牧业紧密合作以采用行之有效的技术的好处，这些技术可以有效地提高决策能力和广泛的畜牧生产系统的干旱准备。还讨论了农场管理经济学方法在评估干旱应对和恢复过程中替代战术去库存和再库存决策的相对价值方面的有用性。后面的这些分析可以突出显示各种方案之间在未来利润和现金流方面的重要差异，以及在考虑到生产和财务风险的情况下，使物业快速恢复到最有利可图的畜群结构和关闭年龄的能力。此外，将牧草生长模型与畜群或羊群经济模型相结合，可以深入了解其影响，关于盈利能力和可持续性的长期替代替代库存策略。结合起来，农场管理经济学框架方法可以支持畜牧生产者做出更明智的决策，从而实现更有利可图且具有抗旱能力的广泛的畜牧生产系统。但是，除了在干旱的响应和恢复阶段采取适当的行动外，要在澳大利亚北部的牧场上实现抗旱能力还需要强调干旱的准备。该方法的关键是增加采用增强干旱准备的策略。农场管理经济学框架方法可以支持畜牧生产者做出更明智的决策，因此可以实现更有利可图且具有抗旱能力的广泛的畜牧生产系统。但是，除了在干旱的响应和恢复阶段采取适当的行动外，要在澳大利亚北部的牧场上实现抗旱能力还需要强调干旱的准备。该方法的关键是增加采用增强干旱准备的策略。农场管理经济学框架方法可以支持畜牧生产者做出更明智的决策，因此可以实现更有利可图且具有抗旱能力的广泛的畜牧生产系统。但是，除了在干旱的响应和恢复阶段采取适当的行动外，要在澳大利亚北部的牧场上实现抗旱能力还需要强调干旱的准备。该方法的关键是增加采用增强干旱准备的策略。
