On 4 June, our Tracy Brown, one of our 2020 Nuffiled Scholars, was a guest in the Radio New Zealand’s Country Life programme.
In this interview, Tracy talks about her recent experience as a Nuffield Scholar on the National Focus Programme.
Interested in the process of change in Dairy Farming, Tracy is focused on getting dairy farmers onboard with doing the right thing – through improved actions for the environment and better connections with community. A big part of this is improving dairy farming’s social licence to operate, or right to farm – that is, helping the public understand why dairy farmers do what they do.
