Launching this August, Know your Mindset. Grow your Influence is an online workshop supporting farmers to respond to uncertainty and change with meaningful action that bolsters
wellbeing and self-value. Presented by Beef + Lamb New Zealand and AWDT, with support from Farmstrong and Ravensdown, the online workshop brings to life the science of psychology as it relates to farming businesses.
Since 2010, the Agri-Women’s Development Trust has helped more than 4,000 women lead change in their farms, communities, careers and businesses. And that focus has only accelerated during the COVID-19 challenges for New Zealand and globally.
Desire from women involved in the primary sector to lead and contribute in their industries, businesses and communities has seen a new leadership and governance programme offered in 2020.
A programme to help sheep and beef farming partners plan for their future and adapt to changes in their sector will be extended next year to 20 rural centres throughout New Zealand.
Programmes to help strengthen farming businesses extending to more than 750 farming women next year, at a time when farmers are responding to climate change and the need to operate in an environmentally sustainable way.
Challenging assumptions, championing the industry, and driving success are all in a day’s work for Nicky Berger, #EscalatorAlumni, farmer and Co-Founder of Grassfed in the City.
In this interview with Beef and Lamb New Zealand, Nicky speaks about her experiences with humour and inspiration. As #EscalatorAlumni, Nicky says the programme ‘turned my brain upside down and left me a much better person – a better listener, and a better thinker’. We love following your leadership journey Nicky!

A challenged world is an alert world and from challenge comes change. So let's all #ChooseToChallenge
This year's International Women's Day theme feels connected to our vision of women as vital partners in world-leading New Zealand primary industries. Women are an integral part of the sector's progress and change, and as an organisation we feel privileged to be supporting you to understand your value, find your voice and create positive change in your life.
Let’s use today to celebrate our collective achievement as women (and as those supporting women) and keep working towards a more inclusive world which not only accepts, but also embraces our differences.
Thanks to our partners for recognising the importance of women in the primary sector by investing in their development - ANZ New Zealand, Beef and Lamb New Zealand, AGMARDT, Red Meat NZ, Ravensdown, Ministry for Primary Industries, FMG, Farm Focus, formerly CRS Software, Farmers Weekly NZ and KPMG

This Māori proverb is guiding our Patron Mavis Mullins in her project working with 50 dairy farms to make a better world for her mokopuna and protect our environment.
Fonterra and Nestle have joined a project led by our partner DairyNZ in which a blend of herb plantain is being sown in pastures with the aim of both reducing nitrate run-off into waterways and lowering on-farm greenhouse gas emissions.
