For the first time, this project gives these female farmers a contemporary, authentic voice to inspire more women to step forward and help shape the future of food production. From remote outback stations to urban market gardens, it’s a journey that will change your perception of who a farmer is.
It’s time to put a spotlight on the hidden face of agriculture, half of all you eat is produced by women and women make up 50% of the rural workforce. Women farmers rarely get, or take, the credit they deserve. It wasn’t until 1994, that Australia even recognised women’s legal status as farmers, instead of domestics, helpmates or farmers' wives. Yet, if you Google ‘Australian farmer’ in 2019, 90% of all images still show white middle-aged men.
At a time when agriculture is facing a triple whammy – a serious shortfall of skilled workers, increasing pressure to produce more food for a growing population and ever more challenging climate conditions – half of its potential leaders are largely overlooked. It’s time for the women to stand up and declare ‘I am a farmer”.
