This is episode one in a two-part series inspired by a forum we hosted at our demonstration farm in Pukekohe, Auckland. In it, we’ll be exploring why biodiversity matters on farm and the role it plays in pest and disease management.

  • Dr Charles (Merf) Merfield – Why a biodiverse landscape is important
  • James Gardiner – Implementing biodiversity projects on NZ farms
  • Dr Brad Howlett – Native plantings that support beneficial insect biodiversity
  • Olivia Prouse – Boosting beneficials using biodiverse planting on vegetable farms
  • Michael Arnold – “A Lighter Touch,” the LeaderBrand story
