Farm Source

Celebrating 5 years of Farm Source.

Around 300 athletes will descend on the North Canterbury farm of Geoff and Rochelle Spark to contest the OxMan triathlon in December, testament to their commitment to the environment and passion for wellbeing.

Because what gets measured, gets managed

As the top football teams compete at the FIFA Women’s World Cup, one of our farmers is at the centre of the action.

Fonterra farmers sharing their knowledge and getting back more than expected.

To solve some of dairy farming’s biggest sustainability challenges.

Every summer, Fonterra takes on two Agribusiness Interns to give them a feel for the business and what it’s like to be on the ground supporting our farmers.

On November 11th, 16 Fonterra farms all across New Zealand had more than 8,400 visitors who wanted to learn about how farmers work and how they care for their animals.

Utilising the genes of animals that produce less nitrogen could provide farmers with a breakthrough in managing on-farm greenhouse gas emissions. Two research projects are currently looking to see if there’s a link between the nitrogen content of milk and animal emissions and whether it’s possible to identify and then replicate genes in animals that might control how much nitrogen an animal gives off.
