Global Insights – How can New Zealand respond to overseas trends?
Meet 2022 Nuffield scholar Lucie Douma, who shares key agritech insights following her international study tour exploring environmental and farming contexts.
This year, Lucie spent four months visiting farmers, growers and support organisations across Europe, North America and Australia.
Join us to hear Lucie’s key agritech insights including water challenges in North America, labour shortages, corporatising farm trends, food security, soil understanding and knowledge, plus the corn belt and the role of genetically modified organisms (GMO). She will also discuss the impact of production and growth trends for New Zealand and how we position ourselves on the global stage.
Lucie Douma leads a team at the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) examining disruptions to domestic food and fibre supply chains and the primary sector’s pandemic recovery.
