Visible Farmer ( Study Guide)

DESCRIPTION
Synopsis: It's time to put a spotlight on the long hidden face of agriculture. Meet the incredible women who produce half of all we eat. 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' today, 90 per cent of all images still show the old stereotype of 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. The Visible Farmer film project has set out to discover the untold stories of the gutsy women behind our food and fibre, and the vital, innovative role they play. For the first time it gives our female farmers a contemporary, authentic voice to inspire more women to step forward and help shape the future of Australia's food production. From remote outback stations to urban market gardens, it's a journey that will change your perception of who a farmer is. Each episode of this fifteen-part web series is an inspiring story with passion and substance, as diverse as the industry the women are working in and the challenges they face.
