Tech transformation set to deliver energy earnings

From Mays University of Otago, Our Farming Future: what’s possible? hosted by the university’s Ag@Otago department.

“A pending project that will allow farmers to more easily generate electricity to supply the national grid illustrates the sector’s technological transformation, says Associate Agriculture Minister Mark Patterson.”

“FoodHQ chief executive Victoria Hatton raised concerns at the conference about a dramatic reduction in food technology scientists, saying when once there were 400 graduates, there are fewer than 50 today. She said their skill is critical to achieve the innovation and product development the sector needs.”
