"We need to nurture and retain talent by ensuring fair opportunities for growth," Gibson says.

Co-founded with Myfanwy Alexander, she explains how the consultancy addresses the lack of support for share and contract milkers, tackling issues like exploitation and unfair expectations. 

Gibson also highlights psychosocial risks in dairy farming, particularly in New Zealand, offering strategies for improving communication and mental well-being on farms.
