Speakers
James Allen, CEO, AgFirst
James is the CEO of AgFirst, New Zealand’s largest provider of primary sector consultancy services. A key focus of his consultancy work is business planning, farm systems design, environmental management, and agribusiness project work, both nationally and internationally, having worked in Rwanda, Ethiopia, Fiji, Vanuatu, Australia, Chile and Ireland.
James is also the immediate past president of the New Zealand Fieldays Society, a Fellow of the New Zealand Institute of Primary Industry Management, and a previous national president of New Zealand Young Farmers.
Originally from a sheep and beef farm near Raetihi, James and his wife Kerry now live at Matangi, along with their three sons, and are actively involved in the local community. Alongside the consultancy business James and Kerry are partners in a variety of farming and non-farming businesses. In his free time James enjoys diving, tramping, skiing and cycling.
Participating in a Nuffield programme has been a long term goal for James, and he is enjoying the challenge. The rise of Agriculture 4.0, the next agricultural revolution, and in particular the increased use of AI, is set to bring profound change on how both famers and farm advisers solve the complex problems facing farming. His research topic is focused on re-defining what excellence looks like for the agricultural advisory sector in the midst of this change, to help keep New Zealand farmers at the leading edge of profitability and sustainability.

Farmers in control of farm data
2023-11-16 11:00 - 12:00
With all the conversations about data-driven agriculture, and the use of farm data to support claims about regenerative agriculture and climate change, one voice has sometimes been conspicuous by its absence?
Where do farmers, and farming companies, stand on data sovereignty and control of data about their business? How can they direct it where they need to avoid duplication of effort?
This webinar explores why farmers need to control data about their business, what their priorities might be, and how agritech organisations are trying to meet those needs.

Join us for our webinar with Agri-Tech NZ
‘A Dive Into Spatial Data Interoperability’
11:00am – 12:00pm 2nd November 2023 NZDT
The ability to “map, see, and decide” is a key enabler for a wide range of agricultural and horticultural applications and technologies. How can technology developers ensure that their tools work effectively
together? And how can farmers and growers avoid drawing their maps six or seven times over?!
During 2021 and 2022 AgriTech New Zealand and the Government’s Agritech Industry Transformation Partnership invested in a collaborative project to develop specifications to support geospatial data interoperability in agritech.
This webinar will cover the learnings from that work, and how it is being applied in businesses. If you are dealing with spatial data about farms, and how to wrangle data between technologies, this webinar is for you.
