Are we ready for the next wave of AgriTech? with Sarah Bell of the Helen Clark Foundation

New Zealanders are known innovators - particularly in the regions. Hamilton Farmer Bill Gallagher brought electric fences to the world and Southlander David Strang invented instant coffee. Both are staples on Kiwi farms throughout Aotearoa. We have never been shy from trying new things, but our primary industries are now being reshaped by AgriTech. Is this transformation a force for good? Are we ready for it?Joining the conversation is Sarah Bell, senior researcher at the Helen Clark Foundation - an independent, non-partisan public policy think tank. Sarah's new discussion paper, 'Growing Innovation: The next wave of AgriTech for rural New Zealand,' says our policy settings need to be ready in order for the industry to thrive.
