Josie Clark
Originally from Kempsey, NSW, Josie Clarke (I: @Ability_Agriculture) works in crop research, her Dad been in a wheelchair since she was 5 years old.
She noticed there isn’t particularly a voice in agriculture for those with disabilities. She’d been chatting to her dad about how there wasn’t really a platform for people who are involved in the agricultural industry that have a disability to share information.
And that's what she aims to do with Ability Agriculture. An online group to share stories and create a community for not only rural Australians that have a disability (physical, intellectual etc) but also carers, family members, health professionals, agribusinesses or anyone with an innovation making Agriculture more accessible for those with a disability.
She is looking forward to shining a light on some inspiring Aussies and giving a voice to those with a disability that want to create a more inclusive agricultural industry.
