Living in rural Aotearoa NZ can be tough. Our farming sector faces many challenges, and they're taking a toll on farmer health and wellbeing. Conveniences and comforts that urban dwellers take for granted can be hard to come by, if they're available at all.
Luckily for everyone who relies on the food, fibre and economic value they produce, Kiwi farmers are as resourceful as they ever were. And the benefits that come with living on the land outnumber the challenges.
Huiroa community is working to make sure our people have what they need to thrive.
