Over the Fence Farmers for Climate Action

In this episode of Over the Fence, we share a conversation we had recently on a webinar about farm biodiversity and the federal government’s Nature Repair Market legislation.

This webinar was hosted by Emily Jones from the Farmers for Climate Action team, with guest speakers Les White and Professor David Lindenmayer.

It explored the challenges and opportunities farmers face managing biodiversity outcomes on-farm, in the context of a changing climate.

Thanks for listening in.

In this episode, Fiona and Cam are talking to Professor Richard Eckard from the University of Melbourne.

Professor Eckard is a world authority on sustainable agricultural production, with a focus on carbon neutral agriculture and agricultural adaptation.

In this conversation, Fiona and Cam asked Richard about the opportunities out there for farmers today as they look to reduce their emissions on farm, as well as what’s just around the corner.

In this episode, Fiona and Cam from the Farmers for Climate Action team are talking to Tony Mahar. Tony is the CEO of the National Farmers Federation.

Tony is from a farming background in south-west Victoria. We discussed farmers engaging in carbon markets, the NFF’s net zero by 2050 target, and Tony's journey to the NFF CEO role (including his passion for baking!).

In this episode of Over the Fence, president of the Victorian Farmers Federation, Emma Germano, is in conversation with Farmers for Climate Action CEO, Fiona Davis.

Fiona talks to Emma about her early life, her career, what drives her, and what her hopes are for the future of Victorian agriculture.

This episode was recorded late last year, and since then Emma Germano has been re-elected for a second term as VFF President.

Recently we sat down for a chat with David Littleproud MP, Member for Maranoa, leader of the Federal National Party and Shadow Minister for Agriculture.

In this episode of Over the Fence, our CEO Fiona Davis talks to David Littleproud about his childhood in rural Queensland and journey into politics, his vision for rural Australia and how he thinks we should go about tackling climate change.

In this episode of Over the Fence, we talk to Peter Walsh, the member for Murray Plains in the Victorian Parliament and leader of the Nationals in Victoria. Our host Fiona Davis, CEO of Farmers for Climate Action, chats to Peter about how he ended up in politics, his hopes for regional Victoria and agriculture, and how he'd like to see us tackle climate change.
