For ages I’ve wanted to sit down with  Stuart Taylor  and chat about his journey from a traditional dairy farming background to the more evolutionary, community-centric model  Craigmore Sustainables  operates. We dig into how his industry is responding to the complexity of issues and tensions coming at them, and the Craigmore approach of investing in the environment, people and community.

Near the end, Stu shares his thoughts on how strengthening connections to the land could be the ‘sweet spot’ for the future of New Zealand farming, and he’s keen to hear from anyone with ideas on how this could be developed. If this strikes a chord with you – get in touch with Stu via email: stuart.taylor@craigmore.com
