We are on the lookout for a skilled service provider to spearhead a program aimed at diversifying the agricultural workforce. 🚜👩🌾 The initiative stems from insights gathered during the Emerging National Rural Issues (ENRI) facilitated Future Workforce workshop in October 2023. Participants, including representatives from RDCs and agricultural industry personnel, highlighted the significant opportunities that lie in engaging underrepresented groups in the rural sector.

🌾 Exploring the Challenges of Australia's Agricultural Sector 🌾 "Imagine fields once bustling with workers now struggle to fill essential roles, and what would happen if these farms disappeared，how the small-scale producers find the way out？" I'm excited to share a project I've been working on that tackles one of the pressing issues in Australian agriculture: the decline in labor productivity. In my recent analysis, I explored how labor shortages and workforce challenges are impacting this critical sector and proposed strategies for government intervention to make agricultural careers more appealing. 🚜🌱This topic is deeply important to me because agriculture is the backbone of our food systems and rural economies. Addressing these challenges isn't just about numbers—it's about ensuring sustainable practices and livelihoods for future generations.By tackling labor challenges and embracing innovation, we can ensure a brighter future for Australian farmers and their communities. 📽️ Check out the video I created to highlight these insights: https://lnkd.in/e9DPtcpa 🌟 Self-Assessment: Using the grading table from my project, I have rated my final product a 8/10. This score reflects the quality of my final presentation, considering criteria such as: Effective Use of Visualizations: ["Data visualizations consistently clarified and supported the story."] Suitability of Content: ["Content was highly relevant to the audience and balanced theory and practicality."] Cohesion and Flow: ["Transitions between sections created a logical flow."] Refinement: [ "Both the slides and video were formatted to a high professional standard."] I would love to hear your thoughts and feedback on my project! As we navigate the future, it's vital to foster innovation and collaboration in agriculture to overcome these challenges. I look forward to connecting with professionals who share an interest in agricultural development and policy. Let's work together to make a difference! 🌍🌟 #Poon Leung #unswDataVisComm #Agriculture #Sustainability #WorkforceChallenges #Innovation#SDG

Our people, our mahi Hawke’s Bay Regional Council is a diverse team, from our customer service team to our engineers, to our scientists, and our finance team. We employ many different types of people with a broad range of skills. We are your neighbours, your family, and your community. We would like to introduce you to some of our people to show the mahi we do for Hawke’s Bay and our environment. Wade Nilsson, Senior Catchment Advisor (Policy Implementation) How long have you been at HBRC? - Two years; I started on Valentines' Day 2022.   What do you do within HBRC? - I’m in the Rural Partnerships Team – we’re a dedicated team actively engaging with rural communities. In my role, I act as a conduit for the great mahi done within the Regional Council and our actions towards supporting both the environment and rural communities.   What do you like about your job? - It's great being able to give back to the wider rural community. My affinity with rural life is in the blood; being fourth generation on our old family farm and being sold on farming as a way of life. I feel I’m lucky to have a wide rural viewpoint from my time in pastoral farming, through to various roles servicing primary producers. My role here involves getting out and engaging with farmers, producers, and catchment groups - which always makes for a great day.   What ambitions do you have in your role? - I gain satisfaction when helping people and seeing catchment groups successfully work together to achieve their aims, and I’m pretty happy when this works.   What are the community outcomes of your role? - Seeing engaged rural people, living, and thriving in prosperous and resilient communities. Living and working on the land can have its challenges, so helping rural communities to grow stronger together is a win for the future.   How did you get into your field? - As mentioned, I come from a rural background, and while no longer farming, I saw the opportunity to join the Rural Partnerships Team as a great way to continue to be involved. Since joining the Regional Council, I’ve been able to progress into this area, with training and support. Environmental stewardship is an ongoing focus within the Regional Council and covers a wide range of activities throughout Hawke’s Bay. It’s a good fit for the rural perspective – I’m yet to meet a farmer who doesn’t consider themselves a caretaker of the land for future generations.

Very topical as I head down to Tauranga next week to facilitate a strategy session for the Manaaki Kaimai Mamaku Trust Like so many other groups across the motu, they have achieved incredible things for both their communities and te taiao through #jobsfornature The stories of connection from mana whenua empowered to work to restore their whenua are inspiring. Kaye Maree Dunn and the team at MEA created a series of videos showcasing the same outcomes for kaimahi across Te Tai Tokerau. So what happiness next? A question I raised when still working for #DOC at the beginning of the Jobs for Nature programme. We always knew this time would come. My hope is that the Department of Conservation (DOC), Ministry for the Environment | Manatū mō te Taiao Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment and Ministry of Social Development (MSD) who all contributed to this in different ways, have been working behind the scenes over the past four years to ensure the gains made in social and environmental outcomes are enduring. That the regional forums established to drive cross agency collaboration to bring to life the Living Standards framework and emphasis on broader outcomes for Aotearoa have been hard at work on this. Alliances created with Regional Councils and with Iwi and hapū are still alive, and working collectively with these projects, Central Government, philanthropy and the business world towards enduring solutions. Otherwise there is a serious risk that a huge amount of goodwill, money and efforts will be wasted. And neither our communities or our environment deserve that. #JFN #jobsfornature #collectiveimpact #natureoutcomes #communityconservation #naturalcapital #stategicthinking #wovencollaboration
