“For those that I haven’t met before, hello, my name is Anna and I’m 4 years into farming. I grew up on our family farm but made the move to return 4 years ago and haven’t looked back since. You may have met my Dad, Andrew Jackson, as he occasionally writes articles here too. DD asked me to write an article because I’ve got quite a few projects going on at the moment that are making my February bloody busy and reducing my hours sitting on the sofa with a cuppa.
I’ve been working with the Future Food Movement to help put a face to farming. They basically start conversations happening between the supply chain and farmers. The idea is that they ask about our harvest and how it went, how much money we took/lost and basically how it’s going on our end. This isn’t a project that’s going to change the food system overnight but I’m hoping by chatting to them face to face we might start making steps to increase food prices and help them understand what is actually happening on the ground.”
