Where farmers can be heard

At AgriHQ our mission is to facilitate better farming conversations. We think this is important because the farming sector is under pressure and we believe that positive progress can be best made by encouraging New Zealand’s talented farmers to speak up and help make a difference.

With this in mind, we have created The Farmer’s Voice for farmers to share their ideas, feelings, and to be heard by those in the industry who can effect change.

Participation in The Farmer's Voice will help guide food and fibre sector strategy, and give you agency over the speed and direction of change.

The Farmer’s Voice at the Fieldays 2024

The Farmer’s Voice had a stand in the inaugural Rural Advocacy Hub at Mystery Creek Fieldays this year and witnessed bucket loads of constructive engagement from visitors to the site.

We asked visitors what their “One Love, One Wish” is for our industry and recorded the results on a whiteboard for everyone to see.

We captured many voices on our walls. The majority were farmers but there were also politicians, youngsters, and those with an interest in the industry. Along with capturing one love and one wish, there were some great discussions around our bar leaner.
