Jo Sheppard - Powering the Future: the intersection of Agriculture, Energy & Community
The energy transition is reshaping regional Australia—but how do we ensure that agriculture and community are at the table, and truly benefiting from it? In this episode Wendy Agar sits down with Jo Sheppard, CEO of the Queensland Farmers’ Federation (QFF), to tackle the big questions at the intersection of agriculture, energy, engagement, and regional leadership.
With a deep-rooted passion for agriculture and rural communities, Jo shares her insights on:
Moving beyond transactional deals to create genuine, lasting benefits for farmers and communities.
The biggest opportunities and challenges agriculture faces in the energy transition.
Why better engagement between policymakers, energy developers, and farmers is critical—and how to make it happen.
The misconceptions about modern farming that are shaping (and sometimes mis-shaping) policy and development.
The next 5–10 years of ag and energy—what’s coming, and what industry partners need to consider.
