More than 150 high school leavers now have a better
understanding of careers in New Zealand’s food and fibre
sectors, thanks to the Feed Your Future
campaign. We’re really stoked with how the Feed
Your Future series has gone. We had seven events from
Whangarei to Invercargill throughout May and June, where we
took high school students to visit successful and innovative
primary sector businesses, says GoHort Manager, Emma Boase,
who supports the national network of Career Progression
Managers working to attract people into the horticulture
industry.
Feed Your Future is a collaborative career
promotion series between GoHort, DairyNZ, Lincoln University
CALGARY It’s designed to ensure the next generation of young women are educated, inspired and empowered to take on the challenges of the agriculture industry. “We want to show young women of all backgrounds that agriculture is not just primary production,” said Agriculture for Life CEO Luree Williamson. “It’s not just farming but all across the value chain and the importance of having women in such an essential role.” Feed Your Future was designed to showcase the many opportunities available in the agriculture sector and offer a chance for young females to connect with individuals in the industry. It’s for young women ages 14 and up and the free event will take place on Feb. 3, 2021.
