Community Developer. Small Business Owner. Avid Netballer. International Agriculturalist. Local community enthusiast. Sometimes a travelling groupie (for certain bands).
Liz Brennan is a legend, a very, very interesting person, and someone we've been fortunate to have known over the past few years.
Her life experience is so incredibly fascinating having worked across the length and breadth of Australia (with a large part in her beloved home state of Western Australia), she's worked internationally supporting farmers with increasing their productivity, access to markets with a particular focus on empowering women farmers.
She's supported start-ups, served on the board of publicly listed companies, championed Women, mentored many [just stopping to draw breath], is an absolute powerhouse and, above all - makes time for a good ol' yarn and has been an incredible friend of HOA!
In today's chat we cover:
- How Liz has sought Home through people and communities
- The complexity of Food Security and what is required to deliver more equitable outcomes for all
- Passion + Cursioty can create incredible opportunities for impactful work in agriculture, leadership and community development
- Finding like-minded people and organisations to deliver meaningful and sustained change
- Seeking wisdom and support from others (especially those with different perspectives)
- The beauty, power and incredibleness of local communities
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.
