Anika Molesworth (pictured), who is on the board of directors of Farmers for Climate Action, is on the New South Wales Committee of the Crawford Fund and is a Governor of WWF, Australia, regularly turns to Twitter to air her views about the urgency of our need to address the climate crisis. Anika's argument, which aligns with most other climate-conscious people around the world, was underlined with the recent release of the Australian 2021 State of the Environment Report. U.S. President Joe Biden is equally concerned about the climate crisis and has committed huge sums to combat the issue, both in terms of mitigation and adaptation.

Part 2 of this episode with Tanya Massy was recorded in two locations. The first half was recorded back at the farm in Western Australia, on that hay bale. We delved further into Tanya's deep personal journey of leaving Severn Park and starting up a new farming enterprise on the other side of the country. That was recorded back in January, as that enterprise was just going to market. Then came heartbreak. Soon after we left, Tanya and Kris had to pull the plug on it all and return to the Massy farm at Severn Park. As fate would have it, come late March, Tanya and Kris had just arrived back at Severn Park when we were in northern Victoria visiting Ian and Courtney (my guests from episode 89). So we followed the Murray River for a while, wound our way through the Snowy Mountains, and reconnected with Tanya back at Severn Park for the second half of this episode. We talk about what happened, how they're recovering, how the land is thriving, and what they're starting up now. This conversation was recorded on-location at Severn Park in New South Wales, on 3 April 2022.

The food system is broken. That's the claim Anika Molesworth, the deputy chair of Farmers for Climate Action, makes in her recent book, Our Sunburnt Country. Food is thrown away in huge quantities in nations like Australia, while other people lack the basics of daily life; consumers are trained to expect the lowest possible prices for produce, leaving farmers frustrated and struggling; and climate change is already having an impact on the types of crops that can be grown in our regions. In the Drawing Room, Anika talks about her own journey to the country and the path to a better future for everyone.

Anika Molesworth is an agroecology scientist, a farmer and now, importantly, an author.  The far western New South Wales farmer is passionately interested in and concerned about food security, nature conservation, rural community development, and climate change. Being eager to read about those issues, but without the usual doom and gloom surrounding those topics and in books mostly devoid of hope, Anika went searching for her ideal book only to be confronted by bare shelves and so she fell upon her only option - write the book herself and "Our Sunburn Country" is the outcome. At just 12-years-old, Anika moved with her parents to their far western New South Wales farm and almost immediately fell in love with the seemingly endless horizons, the boundless array of wildlife populating the area and, with her family, witnessed the differences that climate change was bringing to the property. Anika has buried herself in learning what climate change means for the family's farm, farmers more broadly, Australian people generally and, of course, the world. She currently sits on the Board of Directors of Farmers for Climate Action. Enjoy "Music for a Warming World". Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/climateconversations

As we wrap up the third season of Better World Leaders, as has become our habit, we pause to reflect briefly on the 10 fascinating, inspiring and transformational conversations we've co-created.In review, 5 emergent themes have become prominent.Purpose & values - in particular how you link your personal purpose & values to creating a better world, and then progress to link your personal purpose & values to that of the organisation you work within. We have also discussed the benefit of reconsidering what success means to us, and also combining passion and purpose to unlock incredible potential and performance.Connection - transformation by connection to self, place and work.Story.- so many examples shared of how story telling has become a vessel through which transformation has occurred for our guests, including me with my story as shared in Ep40, and Anika Molesworth's master class in story telling in Ep41.Change - transformation is the most powerful form of change. This season has focused on the transformational moments, events and shifts that have brought this season's guests to leading to create a better world.We thank all of our guests this season for their time spent with us co-creating the conversations we've shared with you, and for all the incredible work they are doing right now to create our better world.Brendan LoRonan Mac DomnhaillChris AndrewTigrilla GardiniaMelina LipkeiwiczSandra D'SouzaLaura Hamilton-O'HaraPaul GleesonKarren JensenAlice Howard-Vyse (special thanks for hosting the conversation in Ep40)Anika MolesworthWe also thank you for your time, attention and any and all comments you have shared via social media, podcast reviews or direct correspondence. You are why we create this show. Thank you for all you are doing, and all you will do to lead to create our better world.

This is a conversation that in some ways I was not expecting, but in other ways I sense I have long been waiting for. I was spell-bound throughout the dialogue with Anika Molesworth, as she shows through her experience, knowledge and actions how we can all influence change, be courageous and do things differently to address climate change and preserve our food systems now and for the future.Anika is a PhD in Agricultural Science, Founder Director of Farmers for Climate Action, Founder of Climate Wise Agriculture, WWF-Australia Governor and the author of the very brilliant ‘Our Sunburnt Country'.Her journey moving as a child from urban Melbourne to extremely rural Broken Hill, in far Western New South Wales Australia, into a farmers boots and hat as a young woman as well as through a Degree in Applied Sciences followed by a Masters in Sustainable Agriculture and the PhD as above.As knowledgeable as Anika clearly is, she is the furthest thing from academia, very much grounded by the red earth of the place she loves, the ailing of the land she has known since a child and her observations of the human-driven changes to landscape, ecology and community. Her gift is that of a brilliant storyteller, one who – in her own words – shows rather than tells, speaks emotively, and walks the courageous steps of a leader who with every breath strives to create a better, more regenerative, place-based world.Anika and I really looking forward to bringing this conversations to you – we hope you enjoy and find both illumination and inspiration throughout.Key out-takes from this episode;Connect to nature- This begins with a sense of wonderment with our surrounds & leaning closely with the natural world- Connecting closely with the landscape continues to drive everything Anika does- Anika's parents encouraged her to turn over the leaves & the rocks, to study this placePlace-based Change- Anika saw the place that she loves deteriorate before her eyes- One of the main changes we need to make is feeling connected to place- Anika could almost reach down, put her hand on the ground and feel her own hear beating, that's how connected she feels with this place- It's important for people to feel connection to place not only for joy & love, but for when they see it ailing- We have to be better observers and recognise what is not going well in the worldNarrative & Storytelling- Change the narrative, not just doom & gloom, share the vision for the better world"- These are the facts, this is what's happening - but told in a way that punches you in the heart- We are the protagonist, we are at the heart of the story, very much creating the next chapter- We need a different approach, changing the stories we are telling- The time for fear based narrative is passing, the time for illumination & inspiration, talking about what is possible & can be done is hereDevelop Capability- How do we give people the capability to describe their visions and convert them into reality?Leading- Be a leader of your own life, and the sphere of influence around you- You can help influence change for the better, because you too are a leader- What we need is more of the verb. What we need is more action. We need more people leading than following.Influence & Change- We are the most trusted messengers to those we care the most for- Don't underestimate the change we can make within our sphere of influence- The essence of everyone is where the change occurs- Changing behaviours of institutions & businesses, and you will charge the behaviours of the people within them- What would we love to create if we dare to imagine this better world we say we want?Follow Anika, connect to Farms for Climate Action and order a copy of Our Sunburnt Country:https://www.anikamolesworth.com/https://twitter.com/AnikaMolesworthhttps://www.instagram.com/anikamolesworth/https://www.facebook.com/anikamolesworthdrhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/anika-molesworth-phdhttps://www.panmacmillan.com.au/author/anika-molesworth/https://farmersforclimateaction.org.au/As always, great thanks and appreciation to the team who contributed to bringing Better World Leaders to you;To Brendan Ward for mastering, final production, composition and performance of original music throughout each episode.To Cooper, Pat and the team at RadioHub studios for audio editing, technical support and creative guidance during the episodes that are recorded face-to-face.

Today on Moments of Clarity, I speak to Dr Anika Molesworth. Anika is a farmer, scientist, storyteller and the author of an incredible new book “Our Sunburnt Country”. She is a passionate advocate for courageous action to save our land, food and world from the climate crisis at our doorstep.    Anika is making her voice heard across Australia and the world as she works to save her family farm in the semi-arid far west of New South Wales and in turn Australia's rural places. Anika is in touch with the land and understands its necessity. Anika understands the interconnection between the actions we take, the climate and in turn our food security. This is why she is dedicated to acting on and communicating the need for sustainable farming, environmental conservation and climate change action.    Anika completed a Bachelor of Science specialising in Agribusiness, a Masters of Sustainable Agriculture, and a PhD in Agricultural Science. She has been working in international agricultural development for the past six years, giving her a holistic perspective of agricultural issues at global scale. Anika is a founding director of Farmers for Climate Action, a movement that puts farmers on the frontlines of climate change at the centre of climate solutions. She also founded Climate Wise Agriculture as a knowledge sharing platform for climate change as it relates to food systems around the world.    https://twitter.com/AnikaMolesworth https://www.instagram.com/anikamolesworth/ https://www.anikamolesworth.com/   In Part 1 of the podcast, Anika and I discuss her new book ‘Our Sunburnt Country', what inspired her to write it and how she bridged the gap of scientist and storyteller. We explore Anika's move with her family from urban Melbourne to a farm near Broken Hill in Far Western NSW and the perspective shift that followed - that is the obvious interconnection between nature, food and people. Anika explains how her ‘connection to place' became the basis for getting involved in climate solutions.   In Part 2, we discuss the necessary role of everyday people taking action and becoming community leaders, the groups on the ground working hard to find solutions, how we each have a unique capacity for positive change, why Anika is hopeful for our future, tackling climate in the way we tackled covid - with science, the expense of not acting on climate, how policy levers can improve agriculture and rural Australia, the solutions are in the hands of individuals, industry and policy makers together, a moment of clarity and more.   Time Stamps Introduction: 0:00 - 5:00 Part 1: 5:01 - 31:50 Part 2: 31:51 - 69:18 Conclusion: 69:19 - 69.59   Moments of Clarity Instagram: @momentsofclaritypodcast Facebook: @momentsofclaritypodcast Twitter: @BarneyMOC Email: momentsofclaritypodcast@gmail.com   Podcast by Matthew Sortino Music by Christian Prochilo Artwork by Michael Chrisanthopoulos  

This podcast has always aimed to fix the world's less pressing problems, but 72 episodes in, it's time for a shake up.I've always wanted to look at the issue of climate change, because here in Australia, not enough is being done about it. Someone who has been quite vocal about the issue, with a lived experience of its effects, is Dr. Anika Molesworth.Anika moved to a sheep station outside of Broken Hill when she was 12, just as the Millennium Drought hit. She witnessed firsthand the way in which her surroundings changed, becoming dry, and with challenges of heat waves and dust storms.Anika's new book Our Sunburnt Country is a hope-filled story of her life, and shares that we can indeed make a difference despite the enormity of the challenge. We discuss plenty in this challenging, yet hopeful chat.Anika's new book is Our Sunburnt Country, and you can find Anika on Twitter @AnikaMolesworth.Connect with the show:Instagram: @whatshallwedopodFacebook: @whatshallwedopodTwitter: @whatshallwepodEmail: whatshallwedopod@gmail.comWhat Shall We Do About...? is hosted and produced by Sam Robinson, who is on Twitter @samsquareeyes.

As of today, I'm only in the early pages of "Our Sunburnt Country" by Dr Anika Molesworth, but already it's an exciting, informative and inspiring read, and through the book, I was alerted to the two Tedx appearances by Professor Johan Rockstram, a decade apart. In the first - "Let the environment guide our development" and a decade later, the second, he talked about - "10 years to transform the future of humanity - or destabilize the planet"; The book's author, Dr Anika Molesworth, was interviewed on ABC radio's "A Country Breakfast"; On Cabon180 we read about: "Greening the infrastructure conversation"; Climate Conscious take readers into the meat debate with: "This Is Why Reducing Meat Consumption Is So Controversial"; From Inside Climate News it's: "Now on Hold, Georgia's Progressive Program for Rooftop Solar Comes With a Catch"; Newsweek tells readers: "Seeking World Recognition, Taliban Vows to Help Fight Terror and Climate Change"; And at Climate Home News it's: "What is Cop26 and why does it matter? Your guide to the Glasgow climate summit"; A guest essay from The New York Times says: "Science Alone Can't Heal a Sick Society"; Two stories from Climate Action: "SSI: Sustainability of marine fuels must be considered in shipping's decarbonisation"; "Lukewarm commitments point to hot climate: what is the impact for investors?".

Dr. Anika Molesworth is a passionate farmer, scientist, and storyteller. She is raising awareness of the environmental effects of climate change and injecting a strong new voice of hope for the farming and agricultural communities. She has been invited to speak at the UN Paris COP21 climate meeting. Anika encourages her audiences to look past the status quo, to have critical and creative perspectives, and hopes to inspire others to seek excellence in environmental and agricultural work. From her home property in New South Wales, Anika brings real stories, heartfelt warmth, authenticity, and optimism to bear on complex global challenges. In an age of overwhelm, particularly for younger generations, Anika's power lies in shifting the narrative to highlight the immense opportunity we have to work together towards a sustainable energy future. Speaking openly about biodiversity loss, waste and overconsumption, and mental health in rural communities, Anika argues we each play a crucial role in fostering a thriving future food system, agricultural sector, and healthy environment, whether we know it or not. Anika has undertaken a PhD in agricultural and environmental science enabling her a well-founded understanding of science-backed eco-agricultural systems design. Anika is a founding member of Farmers for Climate Action, connecting land managers to researchers through her platform Climate Wise Agriculture to help build resilience into farming communities. She’s won numerous awards, such as the 2015 NSW Farmer of the Year, and in 2017 was the state’s finalist for Young Australian of the Year.

Worse fires, longer droughts, and more severe floods — that's what some of the world's top climate scientists predict in the latest IPCC report. So, how can we save our planet, or is it too late? Plus, it's time to fill out the Census - the government's roll call of all Australians that happens every five years. So, why aren't there questions about sexuality and gender diversity? Live guests: Professor Tim Flannery, conservationist Anika Molesworth, Farmers for Climate Action

“So many opportunities”. Anika Molesworth represents farmers who want action on climate. But Barnaby is back. Plus: Bidding wars in electricity markets.

Anika Molesworth is a farmer, a scientist and a storyteller of a better future. She has a PhD in agricultural science, speaks and writes on agro-ecological systems resilience, and has a passion for building the capacity of farmers to respond to climate change, both here in Australia and around the world.

Anika Molesworth (pictured) is among Australia's busiest climate activists. The far-western New South Wales farmer, who is an agro-ecologist, uses what technology is available to her as a means to promote her views about why we should be acting to counter climate change. Her latest innovation is the creation of an idea and a website - "The Positive Alternative"  - through which she and her team will create stories of how farmers, primarily, and the rest of us are responding to the changing climate and how we are cresting the positive alternative. The resultant documentaries will be taken audiences around the world. Another climate optimist is Christiana Figeures who played a key role in seeing nearly 200 countries reach an agreement in 2015 about the need to confront the climate crisis and leave that French city with the Paris Accord behind them. Working with Tom Rivett-Carnac, she has created "Global Optimism". Another optimistic and positive group is the Melbourne-based "Music for a Warming World".    

PODCAST EPISODE 43: Anika Molesworth, farmer, scientist, storyteller, Wilyakali Country and Melbourne, Australia Anika Molesworth – farmer, scientist, storyteller, soon to be author – is a truly inspirational force. With an agricultural science career in that has taken her around the globe, and many awards, degrees and accolades under her belt, Anika is fighting the good fight against climate change. Her motivation is personal, and stems from her life experience growing up on a farm in rural Australia; she now speaks and writes on resilient agro-ecological systems and helps farmers around the world respond to climate change in a way that builds their capacity while looking after the environment. For these reasons and more, I am thrilled to welcome Anika to the BEES WITH BEN beekeeping podcast for episode 43. Anika recalls the transition she experienced as a child from living in the city of Melbourne – where food arrived in the kitchen via grocery bags from the supermarket – to moving with her family to a farm 1000 kms away on Wilyakali Country in far west New South Wales. Here, life was completely different to what she had experienced before, as was the source of the family's daily meals: “City buildings and cars were replaced with open skies and paddocks with kangaroos. Food suddenly became something that did not originate from a supermarket, but from the farm that surrounded me.” Falling in love with the landscape, she understood the privilege and benefit of having a connection to growing food that would nourish people. On the farm, her family learnt the ways of the land, an intimate experience that involved unravelling secrets and knowledge about the soil, the local flora and fauna. The very genuine, hands-on education developed a sense of belonging for Anika and her family in their new home and community. Touched by a ten-year drought, Anika, her family and the local community waited and waited for the rains to arrive between 2000 and 2010. This inspired Anika to research climate change, and to find out what was behind this devastating and extreme weather condition that was wreaking havoc on the farming community and natural environment. Anika Molesworth is a wildly positive force in Australian and international agriculture. She is widely recognised as a “Future Shaper”, a warrior of sustainability, a community leader, and a game changer for agricultural science. Tune in to hear Anika and I discuss life on the farm, her incredible vision, and how we can all do our part to fight the war on climate change. https://www.anikamolesworth.com

UX Australia Episode 15: Anika Molesworth by UX Australia

Dr. Anika Molesworth is my guest on this episode of Inside Ideas with Marc Buckley. It was the decade-long Millennium drought on Anika's family's farm that spurred her interest in climate change, and to ask "How are we going to feed a rapidly growing global population well, in a climate challenged world?" With a passion for rural communities and healthy ecosystems, she is committed to help create sustainable and vibrant farming landscapes now and for the future. Anika is a recognized thought-leader of agro-ecological systems resilience, she has a Ph.D. in agricultural science, is an engaging communicator, and has a passion for international farming development. Anika founded Climate Wise Agriculture in 2014 as a knowledge-sharing platform for climate change as it relates to food systems around the world. She also helped established Farmers for Climate Action, which is a national network of over 5,000 Australian farmers tackling climate change. After being named the 2015 Young Farmer of the Year, Anika went on to be awarded the 2017 Young Australian of the Year NSW Finalist, and the 2017 NSW Young Achiever Award for Environment and Sustainability. In 2018 she was awarded the Green Globe Awards Young Sustainability Champion, the NSW/ACT Regional Achievement and Community Award for Agricultural Innovation, and the 350.org Heroes of a Low-Carbon Economy Youth Champion.

Farmers and primary producers are experts in land management and meteorology. They need to be in order to survive.  Anika Molesworth is a recognised thought-leader of agro-ecological systems resilience. She is an agricultural science researcher, communicator and works in international agricultural development. Anika is also a passionate advocate for sustainable farming, environmental conservation and climate change action. She is a director of Farmers for Climate Action, a movement that puts farmers on the front lines of climate change and at the front and centre of the solutions.  In this episode Anika and I discuss how climate change is impacting primary producers and how farmers are uniting for climate action.

Anika Molesworth is a farmer from far western New South Wales, and a dedicated climate activist.Anika will be a guest, via Zoom, at the Saturday, May 30, of Shepparton's Beneath the Wisteria - here is the invite to that Zoom gathering - https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82326064674.Those with any questions about the event can phone me, Robert McLean, at 0400 502 199, or contact me via email at r.mclean7@icloud.com. The event is free and will last for about an hour.

Welcome to Episode 9 – We're heading to outback NSW to chat with Anika Molesworth at her family's sheep station in Broken Hill in far west NSW. It's not so much what happens on the farm that defines Anika but her passion & determination to creating a better future through advocating for sustainable farming, environmental conservation & climate change action. Anika references the sense of responsibility she feels to not only protect her land, but the communities and industry that are so intertwined with it. She sees a significant role for farmers to connect people to climate through the food and through what may seem like small & meaningless roles. Her work has seen her front and centre in national debates, on televisions but it's her work in the fields of South East Asia that stands out to me. The snippet played earlier is one aspect that was really eye opening for me & how it's not always necessarily the facts that will have the most profound impact on a person.

Anika Molesworth, from far western New South Wales, is a regular on YouTube pointing out the challenges for farmers arising from Earth's rapidly changing climate system.And now she argues that our decision makers need to looking closer at what the present Covid-19 crisis meant for Australians, what lessons are to be learned from it and how they could be applied to even more concerning climate crisis.Anika, who involved with Farmers for Climate Action, will be in Shepparton on Saturday, May 30, at 11:00 am, well, virtually at least, to talk with those who gather each month Beneath the Wisteria in the city's Maude St Mall.Those eager to join the Zoom gathering should contact the convenor, Robert McLean at r.mclean7@icloud.com for the details.

Anika Molesworth is from the new guard of climate activist, she breaks the mold fashioned around the older, grey-headed male or maybe what some call the "woke" conservationist from an inner city suburb, the latte-sipping left-wing ideologue who has never been outside the city limits.No, Anika is a farmer from far west New South Wales who works, lives and breathes in a world that is literally on the climate change front line.But she is more than a farmer, although she is a part of Farmers for Climate Action, she is university educated, is national award winner, spoke this year at the National Climate Emergency event in Melbourne and has set up the website Climate Wise Agriculture.

Anika Molesworth is among the most active of climate activists - she is always out and about somewhere making the case for more action on the climate crisis and arguing in support of Australian farmers.Anika, a board member with Farmers for Climate Action and a farmer from far western New South Wales, is something of a "regular" in social media calling out those who are doing nothing about the climate crisis, mostly those from within Australia's Morrison Government.

In what is an ironic twist, farmers are said to be at the "coal face" when it comes to dealing with "on-the-ground" realities of climate change. And of course, coal is the absolute villain among the causes of the climate crisis that has the world cornered.In this episode of "Climate Conversations" we hear from two of those farmers who are wrestling with the realities of a warming world.Anika Molesworth helps work her family's farm in the arid outback of New South Wales and a new voice is that of NSW grazier, Jody Brown.

Australian Prime Minister, Scott Morrison (pictured), opened the 2020 The National Press Club series of discussions recently with a hollow presentation, devoid of facts, but loaded with rhetoric; rhetoric that would undoubtedly bring comfort to many of his followers and distress to many other people.Climate Conversations had been started with aim of helping people better understand the climate crisis and hopefully give them the tools to navigate this quickly unfolding difficult and challenging time.We hear today from ABC Radio National breakfast host Fran Kelly who took her show on the road and talked with many people on the south coast of New South Wales, among them a GP from Bateman's Bay who was clear in her diagnosis that what people were dealing with were the direct complications of climate change.Guardian columnist, George Monbiot, doesn't pull and punches and demanded that government stopped "fidling at the margins". And finally, we end with an uplifting piece from TedX in 2017 by far-western New South Wales farmer, Anika Molesworth.

Anika Molesworth (pictured) is one of our busiest climate activists and while helping keep her family's far western New South Wales productive, she is involved with several other projects, including being a board member of Farmers for Climate Action (FCA), whose name clearly spells out it reason for existence.Also, we hear from the relatively new chief executive officer from FCA, Wendy Cohen, who, naturally advocates for immediate and science driven action from the Federal Government on climate change.This episode of Climate Conversations is the first for 2020 and hopefully will be the start of a busy year of story telling and conversations that will advance the community understanding of this wicked problem and, along with that, will come a firm grasp of what it is we must do to adapt to this rapidly emerging challenge.

Anika Molesworth (pictured) is one of Australia's pre-eminent climate activists and frequently uses Twitter to advance her case.As a farmer from western New South Wales, Anika is in a prime position to understand and talk about the climate crisis, something she does frequently.

Anika Molesworth is among Australia's busiest climate activists and regularly turns to Twitter to remind people of the urgency we face in the bid to counter the quickly emerging climate crisis.Anika, who played a role in the creation of the "Farmers for Climate Action" movement and connects with land managers and researchers through her platform "Climate Wise Agriculture", again took to Twitter following the latest report the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

Anika Molesworth is a passionate advocate for sustainable farming and climate change action. She can be heard on stage and in classrooms in Australia and abroad on the balance of rural landscapes and includes managing climate risk in agricultural systems.Anika’s PHd work takes here between cropping systems in the Riverina in NSW to the rice paddies of SouthEast Asia looking as aspects of sustainable agricultural development. In this episode we talk about managing climate risk and how Anika’s family experience taking on a property in far west NSW sparked her interest in this style of agricultural study. We also look at the differences she sees between the Riverina and South East Asia and what we can learn from each other. We also touch on technology of course and its role in managing climate risk and its barriers to adoption. This is our first of four episodes in partnership with the Australian Farm Institute on the theme, "responding to climate risk".You can read more about Anika here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anika-molesworth-93519187/?originalSubdomain=auAnd watch her TEDX Talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8R3Al3fgNEFollow Anika on Twitter
