Kiwifruit & Avocado Regen Field Day - Maungatapere
Kiwifruit Orchard in Maungatapere
Description
Join us for an in-depth exploration of regenerative practices in kiwifruit orcharding. We'll dive into four key topics, with 30 minutes dedicated to each.
To keep conversations meaningful, we're breaking into small groups that rotate through each session. This format encourages questions, real discussion, and the chance to work through any concerns together—because this is about conversation, not lecture.
After 30 minutes, your group moves to the next topic, ensuring everyone experiences all four sessions.
