Helping farmers cope with change

Piers Fuller Reporter from News of Wairarapa

Our farm systems and rural communities are approaching a possibly unprecedented era of change and disruption, which also brings potential for new opportunities. Concerned farmer Donna Hintz, is bringing Sam Lang, Regenerative innovation and research collaborator, to Masterton to share what he’s learned from farmers, scientists and practitioners around the world that are pioneering new farming systems and practices.
Sam works alongside farmers, innovators, B+LNZ, Manaaki Whenua and Quorum Sense farming group to grow and support the transformation of our farm and food systems (and therefore the well being of our land and communities). He is also involved in climate change and agriculture conversations at a national level (Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment & Generation Zero), and with our agricultural science system via the Our Land & Water National Science Challenge.
RIVAL Wealth is excited to co-sponsor this event with Gibson Sheat Lawyers Masterton and invite anyone with an interest in food and fibre production to hear him speak.
