Agriculture Meets Energy Transition with Carly Burnham (Voices from the Regions Series)

emPOWER: supporting Regional Engagement during the Energy Transition

With the majority of clean energy infrastructure being built in regional Australia—largely on privately owned land—engaging with landholders presents unique complexities. These landholders range from large-scale farmers and First Nations people to those on smaller lifestyle properties, each with their own expectations and needs.

In this episode, Wendy Agar sits down with Carly Burnham, the 2024 Australian Organic Farmer of the Year (Home | Bonnie Doone Beef), to explore how agriculture intersects with development in both her business and the broader community. Together, they discuss:

• Carly’s insights into the energy transition

• The intricacies of running a diversified agricultural business

• Social licence in agriculture

• Practical strategies for inclusive engagement

This episode is essential listening for anyone looking to understand the perspectives, priorities, and concerns of landholders during the energy transition.
