What does the rise of artificial intelligence mean for Kiwi farmers? Where does gene technology fit into New Zealand’s farming future — and what are the real opportunities and risks? And which global trends should farmers be paying close attention to right now?

In this episode, we’re joined by Jarred Mair, chief insights officer at MPI. Jarred has spoken at a number of Federated Farmers events around the country, sparking plenty of interest and discussion, and we sat down with him to unpack the big picture.

We cover emerging technologies farmers need on their radar, how innovation could reshape on-farm decision-making, and Jarred’s long-term outlook for New Zealand agriculture.
