Alex Russell

Adoption Officer

Alex engages with farmers and other stakeholders with a focus on resilience and innovation in Tasmania’s agriculture industry. Alex grew up on an irrigated grain farm in the Riverina region of NSW. After completing a Bachelor of Environmental Science and Management, he gravitated back to working in agriculture in various roles from farmhand to operations manager. More recently, Alex has pursued work in international agricultural development, managing projects in India and Vietnam, something he maintains a passion for. In aid of this, he completed a Master of Agricultural Sciences with a strong focus on extension.
