For many urban New Zealanders, stepping into Pāmu’s Pinta dairy farm near Taupo last month was the first time they had had the chance to experience farm life up close.

“I am delighted that someone of Annabel’s experience and background is joining Pāmu. We have an ambitious environmental programme across our farming systems to meet the challenges of a changing climate, and societal and shareholder expectations of us in these vital areas for our company and our country,” Leslie says.
