Clint Jasper

At university I studied agriculture and economics, and spent the final year of my studies on a thesis investigating the relationship between wheat prices from the world's five major producers.

In 2012, before I'd completed university I started working at a small subscription news paper in Perth, WA Business News where I covered mining services, hospitality and retail rounds. In 2012 I also received the WA Media, Arts and Entertainment Alliance's award for Most Outstanding Journalism Student.

In early 2013 I started my first job with ABC Rural, based in the South Australian town of Port Pirie, and shortly after moved to Renmark, where I reported on the local horticulture, wine, grains and livestock industries. The region is heavily export focussed, so coverage of these industries brought me into contact with wholesalers, traders and industry groups in south east and northern Asia, the United States and Europe.

I am currently backfilling our national resources reporter, and the role sees me covering Australia's resources and energy sectors as well as national agribusiness, agriculture and food science rounds.
I'm passionate about the intersection of farming, science and business and try to make that passion evident in the work I produce.
