Olivia Bange grew up in Narrabri, NSW, and has always had a keen interest in agricultural innovation. She started with The Crop Capsules Company as a Biological Agronomist in 2022 after graduating with a Bachelor of Agricultural Science from University of Queensland.

During her time with Crop Capsules Olivia has learned the importance of insect dynamics in cropping systems and the potential that biological control can play for pest control, whilst remaining economical for growers. She regularly communicates with industry professionals and current and potential clients sharing insights into biological control. Olivia conducts trials and field demonstrations to deepen her knowledge, educate others, and refine techniques and protocols for inoculative biocontrol options in large-scale cropping operations.

Her passion is being in the field, where she has learned about the dynamics between released beneficial insects, natural beneficial populations and host pests.

Olivia joined the board in 2025.
