Our Impact
AWDT’s range of fit-for-purpose programmes, events and support services have evolved and grown since 2010 to meet the needs of industry organisations and individual participants.
So far we have worked directly with more than 4,500 women in primary industries and rural communities to build their skills and confidence. They are now making a big impact at all levels – in farming businesses, in boardrooms, in management and in communities.
As AWDT graduates understand their purpose and begin to fulfil their potential, they are taking on new challenges and increasing their contributions. This creates a ripple effect that is transforming, farming businesses, communities and the wider industry.

New connections, learning and transformation as these fabulous wāhine embark on our Wāhine o te Whenua leadership programme.
Our team were honoured to deliver and support their personal and professional development in the beautiful valley of Pawarenga in the Hokianga.
Ngā mihi maioha ki Te Uri o Tai kei Ōhaki Marae mō ōu koutou manaakitanga aroha hoki.
We look forward to walking alongside these wāhine as they follow their passion to restore and protect taonga - whenua, tamariki, taiao, relationships, community - accelerating progress and change in the primary sector and rural communities.
Thanks to Ministry for Primary Industries & AGMARDT for supporting our Wāhine o te Whenua leadership programme. #supportedgrowth
