Episode 177. Anika Molesworth – Electric cars in the outback, and cultivating climate courage
Anika Molesworth is a farmer, scientist, and storyteller. And she’s on a mission to cultivate climate courage. In an incredibly short period of time, Anika has amassed a number of accolades including: Young Farmer of the Year, Young Australian of the Year finalist, and a Masters and PhD.
She has also released a best-selling book, ‘Our sunburnt country‘, and co-founded the Farmers for Climate Action movement.
The incredible thing is that Anika has achieved all of this from her geographically and technologically isolated home of Rupee Station in far, far west New South Wales.
I sat down with Anika on the weekend to learn more about what makes her tick, what keeps her going, and how she stays grounded while fighting for climate action.
