Fonterra’s New Zealand farmers are already among the most efficient in the world, with an on-farm carbon footprint approximately one-third of the global average. But they’re not stopping there. Fonterra knows they have the opportunity, and the responsibility, to influence for good and make a difference for New Zealand and the world. Improving farm efficiency can not only have benefits for the individual farm business, but collectively supports Fonterra’s strategy to maintain a sustainable milk supply. So Fonterra is working to highlight the risks and opportunities that may exist in farming systems, helping farmers to improve their efficiency and reduce their impact.
Join us to hear from Fonterra as they share their farm insights and the progress they’re making towards their environmental, social, and economic targets. Recognising there is more work to be done – see how you can be involved.
The B.linc VIBE event series is an opportunity to hear from one of the wider Lincoln precinct companies about their business and to touch base, reconnect and build connections across the precinct.

Our Speaker
Mat Cullen - Farm Solutions Manager, Fonterra
Mat has held a number of farmer-facing and programme development roles over the 9 years that he has been employed at Fonterra. His current role is GM On Farm Excellence – Environment and is responsible for the development and delivery of the on-farm component of our sustainability strategy. This includes the development of our farmer-facing tools and services that fit within our Co-operative Difference framework and enable our field teams to support farmers to meet co-op and on-farm aspirations. Most recently this has included the development and delivery of Farm Environment Reports (which includes bespoke Nitrogen and GHG profiles) to all Fonterra farmers; and our Farm Environment Plan service that is delivered via our team of Sustainable Dairying Advisors. Mat is also responsible for representing our farmers through policy and advocacy processes at both national and regional level. Mat grew up on a farm in the Waikato and is currently based out of our Christchurch office.
