Farmers are changing their mindset on climate issues, but preconceptions, misconceptions and political opportunism sometimes leave the Aussie farmer as “the meat in the sandwich" when it comes to the climate debate.

Farmers for Climate Action can help make positive contributions to discussions on this topic - and in this episode Charlie Prell shares his experiences with climate action, and how controlling the things you can control is key to aleviating anxiety.
