Voices of Resilience shares real stories from farmers and community members across Tasmania’s Derwent Valley and Central Highlands who know drought firsthand.

The series explores the challenges of living and working through dry seasons, and the perseverance, innovation, and community connections that help people adapt and keep going.

These are stories of challenge, change, and resilience.

In this episode of Voices of Resilience, we chat with farmer and academic Sarah Gatenby-Clark about how her background in agricultural science has shaped her approach to farming.

Sarah shares why successful farming requires skills that go far beyond working the land, as well as the importance of community, the challenges of balancing farm life with raising a family, and the responsibility of caring for the land for future generations.
