Farm Source

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.

More than 8,400 people visited 16 Fonterra farms throughout New Zealand on Sunday 11 November to learn about how our farmers work hard to care for their animals, while protecting the waterways and environment.

New research may hold the key to lowering our emissions, by breeding animals that naturally excrete less nitrogen. 

Charlotte Rutherford, Fonterra’s General Manager of Sustainable Dairying is always looking for new ways to support the Co-op’s farmers in achieving their sustainability goals. 

These are the most important tech trends shaping agriculture, both today and into the future. 

When 88-year-old Raglan farmer Jim Bardsley first started supplying Fonterra, he remembers separating his own milk.

It was a special night for Fonterra farmers at the Ahuwhenua Trophy awards evening in Christchurch on May 25.

New data indicates that the on-going work by farmers to protect our waterways is beginning to show.
