Our Values
Our values define who we are and everything we do - relationships with our partners, our participants and their families, our team.
Standing shoulder-to-shoulder
- As a critical partner to primary industry, we enable and support people to address challenges and create opportunities.
- Our unique culture supports women’s needs, potential and aspirations in a trusted environment in an on-going and structured way.
Keeping it real
- Development and support that meets the specific needs of women in primary industries and rural communities. Throughout their lives and careers. From grass-roots farming to boardrooms.
- Creating new conversations by listening to women, building confidence and supporting them.
- Opening new doors for industry to directly engage with farmers.
Creating positive change
- In women’s lives when they find their purpose and fulfil their potential.
- In communities, businesses and industries – for people, the planet, profit and progress.
South Canterbury farming women – we have a few spots left on our Understanding Your Farming Business programmes starting soon in Omarama (Feb 20) and Waimate (Feb 21).
Thanks to Red Meat NZ this is your chance to better understand what drives your farm, participate fully in your business, lift farm performance and network with like-minded women.

Only one week to go until the first Wāhine Māia, Wāhine Whenua programme of 2019 kicks off in Kaikohe thanks to Red Meat NZ. The programme equips and supports wāhine involved in sheep and beef farming at a trustee, management or hands on level to lift business performance.
To get involved in one of the five locations around NZ register today at www.awdt.org.nz/wmww/.
Future Focus kicked off yesterday in Ranfurly with the first programme of 2019. Farming partners took time out to work purely on their business instead of in it, reducing stress by planning and making decisions together.
Thanks to Red Meat NZ Future Focus will be delivered in 10 locations around NZ. Places are still available at www.awdt.org.nz/futurefocus/
