Humans of Agriculture

We sat down with Danyel Cucinotta on her family farm in Werribee South to talk all things advocacy, farm safety and family.

Show Notes

G’day! This week we recorded with Danyel Cucinotta on her family farm in Werribee South, the traditional lands of the Bunurong and Wadawurrung People. 

It was great to meet Danyel in person, she’s got a real enthusiasm that’s almost infectious and I think that comes across strongly in our conversation - but she wasn't always this enthusiastic about eggs.

Danyel loves her family, her community and her chooks, and as well as being the youngest ever Vice President of the VFF, she is Chair of the VFF Child Safety on Farms Steering Committee.

In this chat we cover:
  • Her early interests in Hospitality and events
  • How a chance advocacy opportunity alongside her Dad led her back to the farm
  • Life on the farm as a kid alongside her sister
  • Her experience being the youngest VFF Vice President 
  • How she has found a voice for child safety advocacy
  • The ways intensive agriculture benefit the community
In this chat we do cover some themes such as farm safety, and specifically accidents relating to children on farms and they may be triggering to some.
