Federated Farmers Backs Year 11 Agricultural Science
Federated Farmers is backing Feilding High School’s call to keep Agriculture and Horticultural Science as a standalone subject in Year 11.
The event will be hosted by the University of Waikato's Management School in Hamilton on Tuesday, April 5.
The talk, 'The future of ag-tech with Peter Wren-Hilton', is open to alumni and members of the public. Numbers are limited, so register online at http://bit.ly/ceealumnievent.
Wren-Hilton is the founder of The Meteoroid Program, an accelerator programme that helps Kiwi start-up ag-tech companies to connect with entrepreneur and investor networks in Silicon Valley, and get them ready to launch on the global market.
Wren-Hilton says emerging new digital technologies - such as robotics, drones, sensors, digitalisation and big data - are having a significant impact on agri-business opportunities, and will enable Kiwi companies to become even more profitable, productive and sustainable on a global scale.
