The opportunity starts in the dirt - we’re at evokeAG. with Future Young Leader Katia Taylor

Humans of Agriculture

Katia Taylor was always passionate about making a difference in the environment and climate. She initially began studying politics at University, but soon decided that she could have far more impact through science.

And for Katia, agricultural science is the biggest platform to have the influence she wants to have in the world.

She is now a Postdoctoral Researcher with CSIRO, looking at all things soil biomes, microbes, carbon, nutrients and crop residues. Essentially looking at ways to build richer, more resilient soils that contribute to a more productive and sustainable sector.

Her technical knowledge is incredible and she has a remarkable commitment to her research.

Co-hosts Oli Le Lievre and Milly Nolan sat down with Katia at evokeAG. 2024 after her Future Young Leader presentation to delve into more of Katia’s story.
