Career[edit]
Molesworth is an Australian agroecology scientist, farmer and public commentator on climate change, farming and food systems[6].
In 2014, Molesworth established Climate Wise Agriculture[7], which is a platform that shares knowledge on the topic of climate change as it relates to agriculture. She is a Founding Director[1] of Farmers for Climate Action[8], a farmer-led organisation that advocates for climate solutions which support rural communities. She was appointed Deputy Chair of the organisation in 2020[9]
Molesworth has worked in international agricultural development since 2014, including several projects with the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research[10]. Her research has focused on improving the environmental conditions and livelihoods of subsistence farmers[10][11]. She was appointed to the NSW committee of the Crawford Fund in 2018[2], which supports research and development in agriculture. Molesworth joined The Climate Reality Project in 2016, and under the guidance of its Founder and Chair Al Gore, became a Climate Reality Mentor in 2019[12]. Later that year, she travelled to Antarctica with the largest ever expedition of women in STEM[13][14]. Her involvement with Homeward Bound[15] has positioned her as an advocate for gender equity and climate change leadership[16][17].
As a prominent science communicator[18] and frequent media commentator, Molesworth has had her work reported in The New York Times[19], The Guardian[11][20][21], The Conversation[22], ABC[23][24], SBS[25][26], and other media outlets[27][28][29]. She has contributed to reports with the Climate Council[30] and the Commission of the Human Future[31]. In 2017, Molesworth presented a TEDxSydney Youth talk “Farmers are key to a better future”[32]. Her first book is due to be published in 2021 by Pan Macmillan Publishers[33].
