WA Agricultural Research Collaboration Season 1 Episode 2

Guest: Georgia Welsh
Host: Huyen Pham

In this episode of Cultivating the Future, Huyen Pham chats with Georgia Welsh, a 26-year-old animal production scientist and PhD candidate at Murdoch University. 

Georgia shares her journey from Perth city life into agriculture, driven by a passion for livestock research. Her current work focuses on improving lamb survival by using forage crops like saltbush as both shelter and nutrition during lambing. 

With real-world impact in mind, Georgia’s research aims to provide practical, welfare-focused guidelines for producers across Australia.
