Lucinda is the former Chair of Farmers for Climate Action and runs a large, multi-property cattle genetics enterprise with her husband and is based in the Murray Valley east of Albury.

Farming has been a lifelong passion for Lucinda, which began in her early childhood growing up on a Western NSW sheep station at Darlington Point. Although she moved to Sydney for a period, she knew she wanted to pursue a career in agriculture and after completing her degree in ag science she began working in agribusiness.

Lucinda’s leadership on climate change adaptation in the grazing industry was recognised by the National Climate Change Research Facility (NCCARF) when she was named the 2012 Climate Adaptation Champion.
