Pāmu returns to Fieldays with Science for Farmers collaboration
Pāmu (Landcorp Farming Limited) is returning to Mystery Creek Fieldays, once again hosting the Science for Farmers tent in partnership with MPI’s On Farm Support team and leading research and industry organisations.
Science for Farmers is a collaborative initiative designed to connect Aotearoa New Zealand’s farmers and growers with practical, science-backed tools. The focus is on improving on-farm productivity, sustainability, and profitability through accessible innovation and real-world insights.
Visitors can find the team at Site E38, alongside partners including MPI On Farm Support, LIC, the Bioeconomy Science Institute, Massey University, AgriZero, NZARGRC, and DairyNZ.
What’s on at the site
Across the three days, the site will showcase a range of topics relevant to the future of farming:
- Genetics and emissions reduction tools
- Managing for a changing climate and profitable pastures
- The future of extension and data-driven decision making
- Environmental mitigations, including freshwater solutions
The official site opening will take place on Wednesday 10 June from 10.30am to 11.00am.
