Brianna Casey is a pretty incredible person, her list of accomplishments is extensive – a CEO at the age of 23, a passionate ‘agvocate’ and people person. Brianna has spent her fair share of time on ‘The Hill’ in Canberra where she has succeeded in lobbying government to increase their support of the Food relief organisations and in turn some of the most vulnerable people in society.

For me, Brianna has been somewhat of an informal mentor – bouncing ideas off her and earlier this year we were chatting and I said ‘I really want to shift the narrative around agriculture and bring different groups into the conversation to try and make Agriculture more circular – I’m thinking of doing a podcast’ the response I go was “DO IT” – the initial shove was the catalyst for what has now been 41 episodes since the end of March; a very welcome distraction, challenge and opportunity to ask questions of people and get some insights on how the world has been changing before our eyes this year. I owe Brianna a big Thank you and a big welcome to the Humans of Agriculture podcast Brianna!!

Today we have a bit of an all-round chat from food waste and food insecurity, leadership, being given a chance to prove yourself, rural mental health, and the importance of being human.

This is also the last episode in what has been our first season. I’d like to thank everyone who’s tuned in, kept me motivated and kept me company over the last few months. Next year we’ll be back bigger and better and hopefully with a few new voices on the airwaves too as we look to diversify with new and interesting segments and series.

Look after yourselves, stay safe and stay sane and I can’t wait to join you all in 2021.
