Call me Lachie, I’ve worked as a researcher for nearly 8 years, raised on a wheatbelt farm, now working as an agronomist. I’ve seen food production from the ground from many angles. I believe we need to stay curious as to how we grow our food, as the social licence around how we produce is a changing space. If I can use my research skills to help growers and mangers make agronomic advancements that align with the expectations of society, then that’s a good day at work for me.
