Guest Talk: Giorgia Scaglia

Join us as we sit down with Giorgia Scaglia, the Communication Specialist of Scaglia Farm, representing the future of a farm that has thrived for four generations.

From its humble beginnings in 1931 with just 20 cattle, the Scaglia Farm has grown exponentially, now boasting over 400 cattle. Giorgia provides a unique perspective on the evolution of farming, emphasizing the importance of specialized education and the integration of modern methodologies, techniques, and technologies in today's agricultural landscape.

While the farm's older generation learned 'on the job' and witnessed the dawn of 'agritech', the new generation, equipped with formal education and a passion for innovation, is poised to take the farm into the future. Giorgia's vision for the farm is not just about growth but also about sharing their story, encapsulated in their motto, 'Livestock farmers from birth'. She highlights the significance of corporate communication in today's farming world and her aspiration to elevate the Scaglia Farm's narrative.

Tune in to discover how passion, purpose, and a commitment to evolution can shape the future of farming. This episode offers a heartwarming testament to the enduring spirit of family farms and the boundless possibilities that await the next generation.
