In this episode of Cultivating the Future, Roberto Lujan Rocha speaks with Montana Baddeley, a PhD student at The University of Western Australia.

Her PhD, supported by the WA Agricultural Research Collaboration (WAARC), explores the interplay between genetics, environment and management to identify the ideal ‘Super Cow’ for Australia’s rangelands – an animal that can thrive and remain productive even in drought conditions.
Montana shares how she blends scientific rigour with creative thinking to develop innovative solutions for complex agricultural challenges.
