It's one year fulltime so Sasso and Oli sit down for a chat

Well it's one full year since host Oli Le Lievre took the plunge from the day job and pursued the dream of Humans of Agriculture fulltime. We're not a full blown team so as all normal podcasts do, Oli sat down with his sister and housemate Sass to chat about the journey over the past 12 or so months. To change it up,. Sass took over the hosting role and asked Oli a few questions. In this conversation you'll hear about: The past year and all that’s come with leaving a full-time job and running your own business (and the highs and lows along the way).Oli’s advice to those considering going it alone/starting their own business/following their dreams (hint: it helps to be a little bit obsessed).What following his dreams has also taught him about managing a team, responsibility (being his own boss) and staying on track.What we can expect to see from Humans of Agriculture in the next 12 months including: employees, co-hosts, upping the game with video content, Careers in Agriculture podcast and platforms and continuing to empower people within the agriculture industry.And a huge thank you to all of you for tuning in, the journey's really only just getting started!

But it hasn't been without sacrifice, failure and some hair-raising stories of tackling challenges head-on.

Tim McKinnon on backing yourself, perspectives, culture, the LAWD journey and Rural Leadership

G'day and welcome back to the Humans of Agriculture podcast. This week, I'm on Yuggerra and Turrbal country and I'd like to pay my respects to their elders past, present and future generations. To paint the picture of where we are, we're up at the Ekka in Brisbane, after a couple of years away from the main ring, it is all back and happening! We're standing at the back of the grandstand overlooking the cattle ring. My next guest is Tim McKinnon, Tim is a Senior Director with LAWD and is a leader valuer for Australian rural properties. Like many of our guests, Tim's involvement in agriculture started at a young age on his family's dairy farm in SW Vic. Tim and I chat about his early career aspirations - the dream to become a stock and station agent, heading to the big city lights of Melbourne to study a property course and how that opportunity opened the door for him. As one of the founders of LAWD, we chat about the priorities of the business in the early days and how they began to build their team and culture, the importance of backing yourself, the learnings from a new board and setting the standards for what the business could be, not what it was. I enjoyed chatting about the Australian Rural Leadership program with Tim and how this has helped shape his perspectives, a bigger question around belonging and working in agriculture from a capital city and finally his advice to year 10 students. Tim McKinnon started life on a dairy farm in South Western Victoria. Like many farm kids, Tim lived for the time on the farm whether that was before or after school or during school holidays. Today, Tim is a Senior Director with LAWD. In this chat, while we're standing overlooking the cattle ring, Tim and I chat about that journey from farm kid, the role of mentors, what his experience was like with the Australian Rural Leadership Program, and the opportunity to be in the early stages of creating a business alongside some of the leaders in the agriculture industry. If this is your first time listening to our podcast, we're on a mission to find out more about our food system from the people involved with it and each week we sit down with people from all walks of life and chat about their life and their journey.

The Bravery, Consumer Insights, Branding for Me|We|Us with Claire Maloney

Claire Mahoney is the CEO and Founder of The Bravery. Claire was part of the consumer and insights panel at the Australian Organic conference. During her talk she mentioned some research which her company had commissioned firstly looking at what issues are aussies most passionate about and how to best wield the power for change. This led onto their second piece of work ‘who do you believe’ The work looked at which brands do Australians believe are truly making a difference in the sustainability revolution. Do they believe what they are seeing and hearing? Which brands are cutting through… - Number one issue Aussies care about is climate change- On top 20 issues very little varies between boomers, millennials and Gen X, however mental health is in the top 3 for young Aussies. - 86% are skeptical about the claims that brands make.- 3 in 4 Aussies cannot name a brand that is taking action on environment or social causes.- The top 10 brands that Aussies think are taking action might blow you away! To be honest, the companies that the average consumer saw as sustainable was pretty interesting and eye opening.. I sat down with Claire to find out more about the Bravery, their work in the communications and social impact space and how she hopes to create change and have an impact through her work.

Food Innovation, Surprise Trends and Connecting AgriFood with Angeline Achariya

This week, I thought I would take the chance to sit with someone who has been on the list on my whiteboard nearly since Day 1. Angeline Achariya is a remarkable woman, over the past 20 years she has had a variety of roles in global food innovation, she’s an expert in turning ideas into products and being able to commercialise them. When I met Angeline back in 2019, she was leading the Monash Food Innovation Centre, it was incredible. I was shown how they come up with new concepts from the intricacies of a new chocolate bar to 3D printed food, to how and where to stock products on supermarket shelves within the 'virtual supermarket'. Today I’m keen to find out more about her story, how did she end up in the food innovation space, what’s making her passionate about doing food better, what’s it like to launch more than 1,000 products into the market, and the importance of connecting agriculture and food, how does she balance her values alongside needing to meet business objectives and what are some of the emerging trends and surprises throughout her career. This episode is part of our collaboration with EvokeAg, We are really excited about the evokeAG. 2023 event that will be held on 21-22 February 2023 in Adelaide, South Australia. If you're interested in attending the two-day, full-scale, global event or partnering, visit evokeAG.com for more details.

My Next Guest Is... Ben Barlow on Biologicals, Banking and an Unwavering Connection to Farming

Welcome back to another episode of the Humans of Agriculture podcast. This week we're heading back a couple of weeks and bringing you to the Riverine Plains Innovation Expo on Yorta Yorta country. My Next Guest Is... Ben Barlow. Ben has always been around agriculture, his earliest memories come from being around agriculture and he remembers fondly the importance of hard work from his early years. Upon finishing his university degree, Ben was encouraged to get away from the farm and so he pursued an opportunity to become a bank teller in Mildura, an area that he would go to excel at and have various executive roles both in Australia and in the United States. There was never any doubt that Ben would stay involved in agriculture, he says "It doesn't leave you". His interests have seen him take a small holding of just a couple of thousand acres up to tens of thousands of acres across Western NSW. Ben mentions several mainstream global issues such as carbon, soil fertility, lack of water, lack of arable land and a growing world population as key areas where agriculture intersects with them and can be a solution. On a trip to Israel several years ago, while looking at water technology, Ben came across biologicals and he decided to extend his trip to learn a little more. After arriving back in Australia, he found three companies in the space. Fast forward to today and he has the majority interest and is the Managing Director of New Edge Microbials. So if you want to know more, check out the full episode and if you'd prefer to watch this episode then head to our YouTube Channel.
