Biosecurity matters to you

The kiwifruit industry’s Future Leaders team are hosting their March event next week – an interactive discussion with Stu Hutchings (Chief Executive, KVH) and Simon Cook (Director, KVH and Nuffield scholar) to hear how biosecurity matters to all of us.

Stu will provide an update on the recent fruit fly detections and show what we can all learn from Mycoplasma bovis with practical examples from farmers and data demonstrating the importance of traceability of animal movements across the country. Simon will provide an update on his Nuffield travels and what we can take from other countries facing major incursions.

You are welcome to come along and take part in this interesting and informative discussion. Please RSVP by Tuesday 12 March 2019 to [email protected] or by calling 07 574 7139.

When: Wednesday 13 March 2019
Time: 5.00pm – 6.00pm (drinks and nibbles provided)
Where: Hayward Wright Room, Zespri building, Maunganui Road, Mount Maunganui
