Allegrow partnered with MPI to offer on-the-ground support for farmers and growers to navigate the requirements around biosecurity, climate, water, and the environment.

From 2023 to 2025, our two programmes ran simultaneously in Whakatāne and Ōpōtiki, featuring a series of wānanga workshops and focus groups. People from all sectors — beef and lamb, dairy, and horticulture — were encouraged to participate. The wānanga sessions brought all sectors together, with technical experts presenting on the various modules of integrated farm plans and sharing practical tips on how to apply them on farms and orchards. These initiatives were designed to support farmers, growers, and whenua Māori owners in adopting a holistic, integrated approach to farm planning.
