Humans of Agriculture

Tess Cook grew up on her families beef property in Queensland. 

When she was on stage at evokeAG, she mentioned the challenge and lack of understanding of different career pathways in Ag. 

Now this is so interesting because it’s being talked about a lot, but talking isn’t solving much - we want to know more to see what we can do! 

Tess recently moved to Matamata, New Zealand, to begin her career as a vet and we can’t wait to follow her career!

What is Humans of Agriculture?

We're going behind the scenes to see and understand modern agriculture, because no matter whether you're in it or not, you probably don't know all the pieces to just how incredible, diverse and multi-layered agriculture is. We do this by uncovering the real stories, experiences and voices of modern agriculture.
