Future Farming

Future Farming Conversations

The Future Farming Conversations are proudly brought to you by BallanceEx and hosted by dairy farmer Tangaroa Walker.

What is BallanceEx? It’s our “Ted-Ex”- inspired platform that brings together experts, scientists, and other big thinkers. They share their expertise and points of view, getting us ready for the future of farming and growing in New Zealand.

Our BallanceEx Future Farming series will take a deep dive into the challenges and opportunities Kiwi farmers are experiencing today and into the future.

Host Tangaroa Walker is joined by world leading experts from diverse backgrounds, we aim to offer thought provoking and inspiring conversations that will arm you with practical ideas you can consider integrating into your farming practices. We hope these talks will reassure you that your current approach is setting you up for success, or inspire you to move forward with an idea you already have in the hopper.

It’s all part of Ballance’s commitment to helping you farm productively and sustainably, and to empower Kiwis to keep pace as global leaders in farming.
