Join us for a conversation with John Warlters, CEO of Rural Aid, the organisation established during the 2015 drought that now supports more than 18,500 producers across Australia.
In this conversation, we explore the full picture of what recovery looks like after a disaster, from the floods in Northwest Queensland and the bushfires in Victoria earlier this year, to the slow and relentless grind that continues long after the cameras have gone. John highlights mental health and wellbeing as agriculture’s constant challenge, and how Rural Aid’s counsellors, many with agricultural backgrounds, are working to close that gap.
"One conversation with the right person at the right time can change everything."
We also get into the role of connection in shrinking rural communities, what volunteers bring beyond physical work, and why initiatives like agritourism and community days are having more impact than many realise.
A practical and honest look at the parts of farming life that are rarely discussed, and why reaching out can make all the difference.
