Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Rewarding Pathways to Net Zero in Agriculture with ZNE Ag CEO Richard Heath
Q: What does the pathway to net zero look like for Australian agriculture, and who needs to be in the room?
It's a collaborative, multi-stakeholder effort that combines research across plants, animals, and whole-farm systems with policy, industry, and farmer engagement to create practical, incremental improvements that collectively move the needle toward net zero while maintaining productivity.
Warakirri Cropping: A Career-Making Opportunity with Tony Murfit
Q: Could you give a bit of context on Mawarra's importance and what makes the WA operations distinctive?
Mawarra was Warakirri's first WA farm, a cornerstone that helped expand across the state. It represents a hub of learning and transformation, showing how soil management and early adoption of better practices can unlock significant growth and set the bar for others in the region.
RaboElevate: Why Capability Matters More Than Capital with Danny Shepherd (Partnered Ep)
Q: How does RaboElevate address the difference between hard skills and soft skills across career stages?
The program starts with foundational business skills and expands into leadership and strategy, ensuring content is grounded in ag-reality, while emphasizing self-awareness, curiosity, and the ability to lead and influence, regardless of whether someone is early in their career or moving toward ownership.
RaboElevate: Why Capability Matters More Than Capital with Danny Shepherd (Partnered Ep)
Q: Talk to me a little bit about RaboElevate and what you guys are actually trying to achieve through it?
RaboElevate is a suite of education, research, and knowledge-tour offerings designed to build capability, knowledge, and networks for people across the farming lifecycle, from emerging farmers to farm owners and leaders, with a focus on practical application and long-term community impact.
Rabo Community Fund & How it can help your community!! (Partnered ep)
Q: But it's such, I guess, a great opportunity for grassroots organizations, people with ideas, to kind of throw their hat in the ring. Can you help me and help our audience understand a little bit about what the Rabo Community Fund is, and why it was established back in 2021?
The fund was created by Rabobank to invest in rural communities where their clients live, funding grassroots initiatives through six pillars that build leadership, wellbeing, and resilience; it is funded by Rabobank Australia and New Zealand and has already injected around $4 million since 2021.
