What's better than 100+ people coming for brekky...we love these events!! And now we're sharing it with you!
We had the chance to sit down at Elders Farm Fest with a great crew of people we've had the chance to get to know to discuss all things, the Next Gen in Aussie Agriculture.
Join Humans of Agriculture host, Oli Le Lievre as he sits down to interview Queensland Farmer Tom Coggan, Engineer who has returned to farming Mark Porter, and Elders Technical manager and all-round champion for young people Maree Crawford.
The panellists discuss their backgrounds, approaches to farming, and the opportunities they see in the agricultural sector. Topics covered include multi-generational farming, soil health and microbiology, agtech and robotics, and the importance of education in agriculture. The panellists also emphasise the need for curiosity, innovation, and collaboration in driving the industry forward.
