Fleur Anderson is a cotton farmer and a serial entrepreneur. She's held several senior roles in ag, and now leads the Statewide team in the Office for Rural and Regional Queensland in the Department of Premier and Cabinet. Fleur has carved out a career for herself from a town of just 500 people. She's highly respected in our industry professionally, personally though, she told me she's never shared her story openly like this. Fleur admits she was bit of a rebel at school, a rule breaker, and couldn't wait to kick start a career in agriculture. It hasn't all been smooth sailing though. Fleur has survived cancer... twice. First at just 17, and then again just four years ago. If you take just one thing away from my chat with Fleur, let it be this.... book that check up, that pap smear, that mammogram. Don't wait. This is her story. Christmas book list! Get your hands on Fleur McDonald's latest gripping crime novel, Broad River Station. A young police officer faces prejudice in a small country town, until the search for a missing child changes everything. Fleur's incredible books are inspired by life on the land, and Broad River Station is available now in all good bookstores and online.

This episode we delve into the advantages of new protein markets and the rise of plant based meats.In February 2020 an AgriFutures Australia report: The Changing Landscape of Protein Production; opportunities and challenges for Australian agriculture, identified the rise of alternative proteins in food markets garnering much attention over the past 18 months.It states that forecast global demand for protein is strong and will accommodate for growth in both sectors and although alternative protein substitution will continue to increase over the next 10 years this increase will not produce any material threat to the viability of animal agriculture by 2030.The figures in this report estimate that the additional opportunity for the protein market in 2030 is estimated at $19. 9 billion of which $3.1 billion is for alternative protein categories.All in all it says the emergence of alternative proteins should not be viewed as a threat but a means of diversification for the producer, processor and consumer.Speakers: Jack Cowin, Founder and CEO, Competitive Foods Australia (inc Hungry Jacks)Nick Hazell, Founder and CEO, v2foodJames Madden, Flinders + Co

Bec and Rob Lomman own and run Seed and Sprout, a niche fresh produce business in St George, Queensland.https://www.facebook.com/pg/seedandsprout/about/http://www.seedandsprout.com.au/After careers in various other industries, it’s been a leap of faith for the couple, but they’ve taken it in their stride. Despite having an existing customer base when they bought the business, Bec says it came with its own set of challenges. One of the breakthrough moments for Bec was despite the huge amount of preparation before opening the business, including a lot of legal and financial advice, she felt she was completely under-prepared and had to reach out for more help, despite initially balking at the concept.

Beef producer Sonya Comiskey successfully runs a number of businesses from her home near Emerald, in Central Queensland. http://www.comiskeybeef.com.au/In 2010 she and her husband Geoff bought their first lot of Bazadais cattle from the Bordeaux region of France( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bazadaise ) and quickly established a stud and crossbred commercial operation.They are now working on the direct marketing of their beef brand, which has thrown up a lot more interesting challenges than they first realised.Sonya says there’s not a lot of resources for the average Australian beef producer to go down the road of branding their beef.She uses the example of AACo, who have changed their identity, or branding over recent years. https://aaco.com.au/Sonya has also launched a kids clothing brand called Born Country Baby, which is very proudly Australian made using Australian cotton. http://www.borncountry.com.au/www.facebook.com/BornCountryBabyHaving now had various experiences through a number of industries, Sonya says there’s a huge difference in the age, experience and enthusiasm levels between the beef and cotton industries for example.“The educational resources of Cotton Australia is streets ahead of any other industry,” she says.http://cottonaustralia.com.au/

In this episode of Beating Around The Bush, Fleur Anderson tackles the concept of Angel Investing with Kris Trevilyan, an entrepreneur and jack of all trades from Banana in Central Queensland.Kris’ expertise on the subject is evident and she offers a terrific explanation of how it works and the risks involved.Kris is involved in a Brisbane group of Angel Investors, who fall under an international banner. www.gust.comBut she recommends that to get involved as an Angel (investor) or an entrepreneur, do a Google search but base it around a geographical location.With her current Angel projects, there’s a lot of great ideas floating around, especially in agricultural tech, but Kris reckons the ‘ap type stuff’ is a real winner.One to really keep an eye on is Like a Photon Creative likeaphoton.comTwo savvy females have realised the writing is on the wall for the way we traditionally watch television and have launched Kindergo- an education program for kids that can be managed through a timer and content choice and without advertising directly to the children. Winner!As always, there’s a Wikipedia article on the subject of Angel Investing, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel_investor but to be honest, Kris does a much better job at explaining it.Kris also talks about her own motivation behind her ever expanding skill set, including a real respect for Richard Branson’s philosophy ‘make the pie bigger’. https://www.ted.com/talks/richard_branson_s_life_at_30_000_feet
