A better New Zealand depends on smarter farming more than ever. As nutrient management experts, Ravensdown agri managers work with farmers to ensure efficient use of nutrients that create a win-win for both food production and the environment. Kate will provide an update on how Ravensdown can help farmers be efficient with nutrient management on farm whilst meeting government regulations. Spoken from her own career experience, this insight tells the journey from Lincoln Ag Science Graduate to Ravensdown agri manager providing trusted advice at a time when farmers need it the most.
Creating the energy to move the future of agri forward requires the connections between the organisations on the precinct to be grown and strengthened. The Blinc 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.
