6. Farmers Fighting for Action on Climate Change with Dr Anika Molesworth

Dr Anika Molesworth is a farmer, an author, a newly minted PHD in agriculture and environmental science, and a champion for agro-ecological systems resilience, which is a fancy way of saying she’s committed to helping create sustainable and vibrant farming landscapes, and building the capacity for farmers to respond to climate change.

Thanks to her work on raising awareness of the impact of climate change on farms and what action can be taken to reduce emissions and adapt to changing conditions, Anika is a sought after speaker and educator, and she very kindly joined national vice presidents Elana Mitchell and Steve Baty to talk about the challenges facing farmers in Australia and around the world.
