Central Hawkes Bay farmer was the Local Hero winner at the NZ Food Heroes Awards, off the back of her "Collective Hug" which saw her organise 1200 goody bags for drought-affected farmers.

Dr Jacqueline Rowarth:

One of New Zealand's leading farming academics, and the voice of reason, said if we treated food as a global resource, the GHG associated could be allocated against people fed, rather than the number of people in the country producing that food.

Michael Harvey:

We spoke to the Melbourne-based Rabobank dairy analyst and author of the just released report, Dairy Export Boon Beckons in Asean-6 - With a Push or a Pull.
