Join us as we sit down with Catherine “Mazz” Marriott to explore her incredible agricultural journey, from her Nuffield Scholarship experiences to the real-world impacts of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) policies on Australian farmers.
We dive into global perspectives on agriculture, the critical role of practical ESG strategies, and why farmers must have a seat at the decision-making table when it is time to make policies.
"It's really all around just doing smart business and enabling smart growth for the longer term."
The conversation covers everything from food security and market access to how farmers adapt to consumer demands and environmental pressures. We talk about cultural shifts in agriculture, bust common myths about farming's role in society, and share thoughts on maintaining work-life balance while building strong community connections.
