Regional Groups
Graduates of Understanding Your Farming Business have enjoyed the learning and connection from coming together in a supportive environment during their four-month journey. They have been so inspired from AWDT courses many have formed their own regional groups to continue the journey of learning and growth.
These Regional Hub groups build on the value of further learning, for them as graduates, their businesses, their communities and the agri-sector.
We provide on-going support for the growing number of Hub groups in the form of resources, additional courses and linking them with other groups nationally. Additionally, Beef + Lamb NZ support with access to resources through their digital network and Extension team.
Regional Hub groups cover both the North and South Islands. Additional groups are continuing to pop up after Understanding Your Farming Business graduations.
