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.

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.

Those that know me also know I’m a huge fan of this programme and what it can mean for women. I’ve been privileged to help deliver this programme over a number of years and witness those “aha” moments amongst many other moments. The programme has something for everybody - whatever age, stage or level of involvement in a NZ pastoral farm business. For farmers, by farmers.
Love the work of our facilitation team all over NZ, empowering farming women in their businesses & communities! #keepingitreal with Red Meat NZ, Ministry for Primary Industries, Beef + Lamb New Zealand.
New 2020 programmes just launched today too - check out awdt.org.nz/uyfb/So wonderful to have Agri-Women's Development Trust (AWDT) down on the West Coast sharing their wisdom and passion for rural NZ.
Comment on Facebook So wonderful to have...
and you have a couple of great ladies there to empower the already mighty west-costers!
Yay!
Let's hear it for Hastings!
Introducing our newest Understanding Your Farming Business graduates. It was a privilege to support these farming women from the Hawke's Bay grow as #criticalfarmingpartners in their farming business.
We are just days away from announcing the locations of the September series of Understanding Your Farming Business. Should we bring our most popular course to your town? Let us know in the comments!

Sam N Arna Taylor have you done this? Incredibly good course and so relevant to your new move! ❤️
We called 300 Kiwi farming women this week. And we got 300 different stories.
These ring-arounds remind us why AWDT does this work, and why we love this community. We’re all running 100 miles an hour - balancing kids, farms, jobs, study and more – but so many of you still took the time to share a story (or a laugh) and recommend a friend who’s ready for one of our programmes. Thanks.
Our next series of Understanding Your Farming Business starts in September. If you think your town is right for our most popular programme (supporting farming women to confidently find their place in their farming business) – tell us where & why in comments and we’ll get in touch.
Help us bring the programme to you, and bring a few local Kiwi farming women into this community.
Thanks to Red Meat NZ UYFB is fully funded. You can learn more at www.awdt.org.nz/uyfb Beef + Lamb New Zealand

The West Coast please. I have done UYFB & Loved it, it would be great if other ladies on the Coast got to experience this.
Waitaki region would be fab. Such a diverse region with dairy, high country, sheep and cropping. Very central for many women working in our ag sector
Taumarunui or anywhere in the king country please
Earth movement ♥️
Murchison, South Island - heaps of fab farming women here and in the surrounding Valleys who I think would really benefit from it. I’ve done the course and LOVED it. Wish I could even do it again!
