Oli Le Lievre
As a teenager, Oli left school and went jackarooing which led to opportunities to work across grain, sheep and beef properties in Australia and a season in Canada.
Fast forward to 2017, he found himself in a Tech startup working in agriculture, using a phone app to support farm management decisions and provide product traceability through the supply chain.
By 2019 he was in a role for Global Table Australia, an organisation listed by Food Tank in the USA as one of ‘120 organisations shaping the future of Food’. They hosted an event called ‘The Global Food Innovation Summit’ in Europe they’d had speakers like President Barack Obama, Howard Schultz (founder and Chairman of Starbucks) and it was here in Australia that the conversation around the importance of Food and agriculture was far bigger than what we currently had in Australia.
Oli started to see a growing disconnect between agriculture and the rest of society. So, in 2019, he started Humans of Agriculture as a podcast and video series focused on sharing real stories from across the industry. It has quickly grown into a community built around connection, curiosity and opportunity.
