Sustainable Farm Systems

Having cost effective sustainable farm systems is essential to keeping one of the most important sectors of New Zealand viable.

We at the AgriBusiness Group believe that it is essential to have the most relevant and up-to-date information so that we can give our clients the best advice possible.

The team had the privilege to catch up with the passionate Agricom Kimihia team recently and looked at some of the work and research they are involved in within the agronomy world. Its awesome to see a team connected to investigating tools we already use on farm and what functions these may have in the environmental space.

This leads to the question however what is the burden of proof costing us as an industry. With so many pastures and crops already being used on farm that could lead to reductions in Nitrogen leaching, greenhouse gases and synthetic fertiliser why are we as an industry fighting against each other to hinder these tools rather than working together to come up with solutions and support our farmers.
