The farming sector has been through one of the worst droughts in living memory.  It is now preparing to reap a record harvest, while struggling to find workers amid state-by-state border closures.

 

Farming impacts our lives on so many levels, from the food we eat to the environment we will leave behind for our children and grandchildren.

 

Gabrielle Chan is a journalist and author of Why You Should Give A F**K About Farming.  Gabi tells us about being a city girl who ended up on a farm west of Canberra, and how her new perspective shed light on the importance of farming and the entire agriculture sector.  Basically, why we all should give a f**k about farming.
