“I work every day to develop and connect agrifood businesses across Australia and Asia.”
Karensa Menzies
With an extensive network and understanding of the agricultural and food producing industries, I help you push through the barriers associated with the growth and development of a small-medium agrifood business, make deliberate decisions and strategically manage risk.
I also work with organisations and initiatives across the agrifood supporting network (such as industry and research & development (R&D) organisations, education providers, agtech and start-ups) to better support agrifood businesses, regional communities and value chains for a sustainable future.

“Our Shire was really at a pivotal point around rejuvenation of the agricultural industry. Karensa worked alongside us to develop a clear strategic framework and pathway for the next decade of work. She brought terrific knowledge and ethics to the project and really took the time to understand what we wanted throughout the project.”
Amanda Pagan, Director Community & Plannining, Towong Shire
“Karensa completed a project for GRDC examining trends in pulse production in India. She spent time receiving background materials and used her local contacts in India and met with a range of industry participants across the chickpea production region for various sectors. She covered competing crops, new varieties, production constraints, monsoon rainfall, irrigation, trading, retailing and government run programs. Her report was thorough, timely and professional.”
Terrence Farrell, Head of Economics, GRDC
“What I valued most when working with Karensa was her natural ability to be objective and see two sides to the issues I faced. She has great industry knowledge and, when needed, called on her networks to extend her knowledge and advice. Having her in my circle of networks going forward is a great bonus for me as a business operator.”
