Celebrating The Role Of Women In New Zealand Agriculture

"Women are performing at the highest level across every aspect of the agricultural industry," Taylor explains.

Celebrating International Rural Women's Day on October 15, award-winning journalist Sandra Taylor sheds light on the evolving role of women in New Zealand's agriculture. 

She highlights how women have transitioned from the wartime "land girls" to becoming integral figures in farming and governance.

Taylor shares inspiring stories of women like Nicky Morrow, who runs a competitive farming operation alongside her husband, and Emma Paul, a trailblazer in farming competitions. 

She also explores the empowerment of rural women through digital platforms, enabling them to connect and support each other.
