In this episode, host Katie Rodwell sits down with Claire Taylor, agricultural communicator, journalist, and Nuffield farming scholar, to discuss how storytelling can help bridge the growing disconnect between farmers, consumers, and policymakers. Together they explore how farmers can share their stories with confidence, why understanding audiences matters, and what New Zealand can learn from international examples of agri-communication done well.The Power of Connection Through CommunicationClaire explains that communication isn't just about conveying facts — it's about connection. She believes that the future of farming depends on the sector's ability to build understanding and trust beyond the farm gate. Farmers, she says, already have powerful stories to tell about stewardship, care for animals, and innovation; they just need to find the language and channels that resonate with their audiences.From Journalist to Advocate: Claire's Journey in Agri-CommunicationDrawing on her background as a journalist and communicator, Claire shares how her passion for agriculture has shaped her career - from writing about farming issues to helping the sector find its collective voice. Her Nuffield scholarship took her around the world, where she studied how other countries connect their rural and urban communities through storytelling and public engagement.What New Zealand Can Learn From Global VoicesThrough her travels, Claire found that farmers overseas often face similar challenges - balancing productivity with perception. But she also discovered inspiring examples where strong communication strategies have built pride and public support for agriculture. She highlights how coordinated, authentic messaging can make a real difference in how food producers are valued and understood.Practical Tips for Farmers to Share Their StoryClaire encourages farmers to start small - whether that's a social media post, a farm open day, or simply talking with local school groups. She notes that the most impactful stories are those grounded in honesty and everyday experience. By focusing on shared values like care for animals, the environment, and community, farmers can help build a more informed and supportive public conversation about food and farming.Key TakeawayCommunication is a powerful tool for shaping agriculture's future. As Claire puts it, “If we don't tell our own story, someone else will tell it for us.” By sharing authentic, values-driven stories, New Zealand farmers can strengthen trust, understanding, and pride in the sector - ensuring the industry's future is not only productive, but also well-understood and respected.

Depending on where you sit, the supremacy of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) action seems inevitable. Corporates are talking about. Investors are talking about it. Governments, regulators, and even farmers are talking about it. And yet for many of us, the questions of what exactly ESG is, what pursuing these goals means, and how soon acting on them will be mandatory remain unanswered. Then just when it feels like we start to get a handle on a definition or a timeline, you leave one geography and enter another, and it seems like all the rules have changed! This level of ambiguity has piqued our interest to learn more about trends in ESG, global variations in ESG practices, and what the future might hold. So this week, we're sitting down with Catherine Marriott, recent Nuffield Australia Awardee, who has spent the last year traveling around the world to learn about the current and future state of ESG in agriculture.For more information and resources, visit our website. The information in this post is not investment advice or a recommendation to invest.
