Overview

Andrew Morrison brings his experience in the agricultural sector to discuss the implications of “industry good” set against challenges of multiple issues in the sector, for example the Zero Carbon Bill and essential freshwater legislation. 

What are the needs of boards in the agri-sector right now, what might that look like in another five to 10 years’ time and how can the challenges other sectors are facing help agri-sector boards anticipate new risks? What can we learn from the unique and positive characteristics of agri-business owners and what does their experience in their own enterprises bring to the board table?
