Growing up the last thing on my wish list was to be a farmer
Yet ten years after putting my hat in the ring to help design the image we want our farmers to be I was the National Landcare Primary Producer of the Year. Two years after that I was the inaugural Bob Hawke Landcare winner.
What is the image you want your farmers to be?
In my case if it was to showcase other women I have failed
Every winner of this award in the last ten years has NOT been a woman
What could I have done differently?
When you find yourself in a patriarchal system where you have no idea where to start.
Don’t give up.
The secret lies in asking the right questions and being part of the co-design next step team.
What questions should we be asking?
