Nuffield CEO “If you can’t speak the language, you can’t understand the culture” with Jodie Redcliffe

Jodie Redcliffe studied Psychology, can speak fluent Japanese, is a mother of three and her first memories in agriculture are feeding poddy calves on her Pa’s dairy farm. There’s a lot to unpack in this episode! As a youngster, Jodie moved around regional Queensland as her father worked in pigs and poultry. 

“He actually liked pigs a lot more than poultry. And then ironically, I married a chook farmer, which kinda was a little weird to begin with.”

If there is someone in your network who is a Nuffield Scholar, you would be privy to just how much they boast about the program. 

Almost exactly 10 years ago, Jodie was a Nuffield Scholar herself and is now the CEO of Nuffield Australia. She speaks about her Nuffield learnings and they’re ever evolving, just like industry best-practices. 

"The trouble is when you bring everybody up, it just lifts above everybody else, so it's a constant process of improvement."

Jodie continues to learn from her global travels and the people in the Nuffield network. For anyone in the Humans Of Agriculture Community considering their own Nuffield, this podcast will serve as a source of inspiration and a bit of a FAQ!

Jodie's story is part of our partnership with the Nuffield Australia - Nuffield Scholar program - Where we are shining a light on some of the incredible stories of some of their scholars.
