Shaping the future of sustainable agriculture

Dr Anika Molesworth is a leading expert on climate change and food systems reliance. Her extensive research into international agricultural development has made her a frequently sought-after speaker.

After witnessing her family’s sheep farm in New South Wales undergo a decade-long drought, Anika was inspired to explore alternative farming systems that can help vibrant rural communities enforce sustainable agriculture.

In 2014, Anika established Climate Wise Agriculture. The knowledge-sharing platform aims to facilitate the flow of information and skill transfer with regards to climate change and farming.

She is also a Founding Director of Farmers for Climate Action, a farmer-led organisation that advocates for climate solutions in rural communities. Spanning over 5,000 Australian farmers, the organisation has had a prominent role in implementing national impact through grassroots community actions.

Appearing frequently on radio, television, and in newspapers and magazines, Anika continues to spread awareness with her warmth and compelling storytelling. Recently, she has also published her knowledge in a new book ‘Our Sunburnt Country’.
