The term 'resilience' becoming a burden for women in agriculture, study shows
New research from Adelaide University is questioning the widespread use of the term "resilience" in Australian agriculture, arguing that its overuse can place unfair pressure on individual farmers and obscure the need for systemic support. Published in the Journal of Rural Studies, the study explores the perspectives of women involved in farming businesses across Australia, examining how resilience is understood, experienced, and talked about within the sector.
