Anika Molesworth is an agroecology scientist, a farmer and now, importantly, an author. 

The far western New South Wales farmer is passionately interested in and concerned about food security, nature conservation, rural community development, and climate change.

Being eager to read about those issues, but without the usual doom and gloom surrounding those topics and in books mostly devoid of hope, Anika went searching for her ideal book only to be confronted by bare shelves and so she fell upon her only option - write the book herself and "Our Sunburn Country" is the outcome.

At just 12-years-old, Anika moved with her parents to their far western New South Wales farm and almost immediately fell in love with the seemingly endless horizons, the boundless array of wildlife populating the area and, with her family, witnessed the differences that climate change was bringing to the property.

Anika has buried herself in learning what climate change means for the family's farm, farmers more broadly, Australian people generally and, of course, the world.

She currently sits on the Board of Directors of Farmers for Climate Action.
