Ep 37: Defining Agronomy with Elaine Gould of Fruitfed Supplies

Agronomists play a huge role in the success of crops for farmers and growers. But what you may not know is there is no qualification requirement for agronomists. None. Meanwhile, overseas anyone calling themselves an agronomist must hold a recognised qualification. PGG Wrightson decided to do something about this and worked with Primary ITO to launch the very first, NZQA-approved programme and qualification. The first tranche of eight students is currently enrolled. Joining the conversation is Fruitfed Supplies Technical Team Specialist for Subtropicals – Elaine Gould.
