Your Story | I grew up on a mixed cropping and sheep farm in the Great Southern, and now work for Perth NRM, a for-purpose, non-for-profit organisation. Our purpose is supporting farmers in their sustainable agriculture enterprise, while working towards regeneration and restoration of the natural capital of our landscapes. I’m passionate about sharing farmers stories, connecting consumers (everyone) with producers, and supporting the production of healthy, nutritious and sustainable food and fibre. We must care for our farmers and understand how vital their relationship is to rural communities, food security and the future. |
Challenges I can best help others solve are: | Share resources, activities and opportunities through my work. If you're a farmer and would like to share your story, get in touch! |
Key challenges I would like to solve are: | How we can increase our water holding capacity in an increasingly drying/low rainfall climate. |
