Early Edition with Kate Hawkesby

A move to get kiwi kids interested and engaged with farming and the primary sector. Entries are now open for the Junior Young Farmer of the Year for the 2022 season. It's aimed to get school kids from both town and country engaged with the primary sector and where our food comes from. NZ Young Farmers CEO Lynda Coppersmith told Kate Hawkesby they want children to better understand the connection between what farmers to everyday and what appears on their table. “It's amazing how just one or two experiences will actually spark a bit of imagination and passion.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
