AMINZ and the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) have partnered to develop a new Farm Debt Mediation video series aimed at farmers, creditors, and advisors.

The series is designed to provide a practical introduction to the Farm Debt Mediation Scheme and explains the key steps involved in the mediation process.

Presented by mediators Mark Copeland and Rosemarie Brown, the videos cover eligibility requirements, what participants can expect during mediation, and the outcomes that may follow.

Monique Pearson, AMINZ executive director says the organisation's aim is to provide a learning resource that makes farm debt mediation accessible and easier to understand for those considering or participating in the process.

Whether you are a farmer seeking support, a creditor navigating the scheme, or an adviser assisting clients, the videos offer valuable guidance on how farm debt mediation works in practice. 

“This is the first video series of its kind in Aotearoa New Zealand,” says Pearson.

“We are excited to be able to share this resource and help more people understand how the scheme works," she says.

The videos were soft launched at Fieldays 2026, where AMINZ showcased the resource to help raise awareness of the Farm Debt Mediation Scheme and discuss how dispute resolution can support rural communities through challenging times.
