How do you get a career in agriculture or agtech, when you’re not from a farming background? In this episode, we meet four women who’ve become agtech leaders, despite not having grown up on a farm. At the intersection of two largely white and male dominated industries (agriculture and tech), they have succeeded despite, as they say, ‘not looking the part’. You’ll hear how they first got their foot in the door (from scoring discounted tickets to conferences, to setting up their own networking events, to making elevator pitches to gain on-farm experience), and what challenges they’ve had to overcome to thrive. This episode is for employers looking for talent, as well as anyone looking to get into agtech and agriculture who isn’t sure where to start!On the podcast:Rayali Banerjee - Communications Manager, Syngenta Australia and New ZealandCass Mao - Program Manager, Farmers2Founders and Venture Partner, Tenacious VenturesSamantha Wan - Wool Business Specialist, EldersAmy Wu - Writer and Creator, From Farms to IncubatorsThis is episode has been brought to you by the AgThentic Group in collaboration with Future Farmers Network.For links from the episode and to find agtech job listings, visit our website.
