National Press Club Lunch: Cultivating Change, Nurturing Farming’s Future

An amazing panel with Anika Molesworth, James L Walker, Jess Webb, Carmel Onions and facilitated by Natasha Greenwood.

BY CEO + MANAGING DIRECTOR, CAROLYN HALL

At the National Press Club Lunch: Cultivating Change, Nurturing Farming’s Future, Senator the Hon. Minister for Agriculture Murray Watt spoke on Agriculture leading the charge to a net zero future and ensuring the whole sector remains productive and profitable with Industry and Government working together. Mulloon Institute’s work on rehydration and restoration of agricultural landscapes can certainly help with that!

“Optimising production optimises natural capital.”

Carmel Onions, quote of the day.

It was great to catch up with Suzannah Cowley from NVIRO Media and Rhonda Daly from YLAD Living Soils.

There was plenty of time for networking and I did make some new friends, always a great opportunity to tell the story of hope that Mulloon brings.

The day was made special as I had the opportunity to hand Senator the Hon. Murray Watt a copy of our freshly printed Annual Report, and to catch up again with Secretary, Sustainability, Climate & Strategy, DAFF Nick Blong.

I did have the opportunity to bring Karen Walsh from Landcare Australia up to speed on our Learning Programs. A catch-up with Rob Purves at the Press Club, saw us discussing the uncertain future for the Green and Golden Bell Frog on the Molonglo River at Carwoola.
