CEO of the Little River Landcare Group at Yeoval, Ms Job specialises in agricultural, education in natural resource management and project delivery

Ms Job is committed to agriculture and in particular, the need for agriculture and natural resource management to be integrated to create a sustainable future for generations to come.

Ms Job, who is also on the central west Local Land Services (LLS) Board, took out the NSW-ACT Rural Women's Award earlier this year.

As the National winner Ms Job will receive a $10,000 bursary.

She plans to use her bursary to create a rural women’s training program entitled ‘Positive Farming Footprints’ to create a community of women who have the adaptive capacity to manage the challenges of rural life.

The aim of the program is to increase the capacity of rural women to manage climate change and finance in a complex economy, as well as increase their personal resilience using a social, ecological and economic platform.

Minister for Primary Industries, Katrina Hodgkinson said “Pip has changed NSW agriculture for the better and her contribution has been felt both in NSW and now nationally.”

“Pip is helping to drive a step change in how farmers manage their landscape and how regenerative agricultural systems can create sustainable food and fibre production,” she said.

Ms Hodgkinson congratulated Ms Job on her achievement, and said she looks forward to her future work.

“Whether it’s in the paddock, around the board table or at the family kitchen table, Pip’s strength is in connecting with people and inspiring change,” Ms Hodgkinson said.
