Reframing how we think about farming

Oli Le Lievre is the founder of the hugely successful Humans of Agriculture podcast and media business. From suburban Sydney to a career in agriculture, Oli has let his curiosity and passion guide him to the frontline of reshaping the narrative about farming.

Having experienced a range of roles on the land in Australia and overseas, and within the agri-corporate world, Oli has faced-down doubt and inner conflict to start a remarkable movement. It all centres around his conviction that stories are the key to reconnecting people with where food and fibre comes from. 

Oli sits down with our host, Claire Delahunty, and shares his passion for shaping a positive conversation that we can all be a part of. 

Some highlights:  

• Oli talks about how essential it is to be a part of the ‘conversation’ if you want to have input
• The realisation that age is no barrier to having something to offer
• How leading with a negative is not the way to engage someone or inspire change
• And taking comfort in the knowledge that fear is something every leader has grappled with at some stage, but if we’re willing to give it a go, it can be hugely rewarding
