We are seeing vast swathes of the Australian country being devasted by bushfires, while at the same time other parts are being submerged by devastating floods. Agriculture is both extremely vulnerable and partially responsible for the challenges we're facing from climate change. Farmers all across the country and globe are stepping up to be part of the solution, and paving the way for a better food future for all, from the ground up.

Anika is a recognised thought-leader of agro-ecological systems resilience, she is an agricultural science researcher, communicator, and works in international agricultural development. Anika is a passionate advocate for sustainable farming, environmental conservation, and climate change action. She is a director of Farmers for Climate Action, a movement that puts farmers on the front lines of climate change and at the front and center of the solutions.

In this episode, we hear Anika share her story about how she came to be a thought-leader and passionate advocate for sustainable farming, agroecological systems resilience, climate change action, and environmental conservation. We looked at what climate change looks like for farmers in Australia and our South-East Asian neighbours, and how the solutions differ in each region. Anika provided insights on the progress of Australia’s target to become target neutral by 2050, and whether the target is ambitious or urgent enough. Anika shared her predictions of what an Australian farm business might look like in 2050, how agroecology will assist us in combating climate change and addressing food security, and how this challenge is a shared responsibility of producers and consumers. But that’s not all, so be sure to add this episode to your playlist!
