Regenerative farming is emerging as a transformative approach in Aotearoa’s agricultural landscape, promising healthier soils, stronger ecosystems, and more resilient farming systems. By focusing on practices that restore biodiversity, improve soil health, and enhance carbon sequestration, regenerative farming offers pathways for long-term productivity while addressing climate and environmental challenges.
In this VIBE session, we are pleased to welcome Sarah Newton from McCain as she shares insights from their work across Aotearoa’s farming systems, drawing on research, on-farm innovation, and collaborative projects. Sarah will explore how regenerative practices are being implemented in practice, the science behind soil and ecosystem health, and the role of technology and data in supporting sustainable decision-making. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of both the opportunities and the challenges facing farmers seeking to transition to regenerative approaches.
Join us for an engaging conversation on the future of farming in New Zealand, the choices shaping regenerative agriculture, and how innovation, research, and collaboration are driving resilient, sustainable food systems.
