Cyclones aside, growers have had, and will continue to have, a range of crises that effect their business and Natalya will be discussing her experience of managing moving goal posts and responding to a multitude of crises as a Gisborne grower.

The future of advanced breeding
Reimagining the future of our orchards Louise Nash, Founder & CEO of Circularity Last year Circularity worked with NZAPI to deliver the vision and concept 'Future Focused Orchards'. This was developed by partnering with local growers, leaders across the global food system, and local iwi/hapu to co- design an industry vision that explores key practices and opportunities for redesign to deliver ecosystem health, reduce harm, and deliver prosperity to the industry; improving environmental, social and economic outcomes. In this session, Louise Nash will introduce the vision and concept, followed by a grower panel (incl. Louise) that will share with us what they see as important, what is already happening, and what still needs to be done.
