AgriDetective
Hi, I'm Janine Batters producer and host of AgriDetective. I'm an Australian mixed farmer, a communications consultant, former journalist and someone who really wants to build the understanding of the Australian ag industry and its opportunities so we can farm smarter, not harder and be more profitable which I believe can go hand in hand with caring for our environment.
I'll discuss with experts in their field the evolving challenges and innovations shaping Australian agriculture. From cutting-edge agronomic research and agtech to workforce management, leadership, finance, nutrient strategies and farmer wellbeing, AgriDetective will bridge the gap between ideas and on-farm action.
