Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Feature | The realities of food security in New Zealand
Q: What role does sustainability play in everyday sourcing decisions?
Sustainability is a core consideration, with regenerative agricultural projects and efforts to reduce fertilizer inputs guiding long-term planning and supplier collaborations.
Feature | The realities of food security in New Zealand
Q: How do you balance local supply with the need to import certain items?
Imports are used strategically for items where year-round supply isn't feasible, but the emphasis remains on extending the domestic season and working with growers to maximize local production.
Feature | The realities of food security in New Zealand
Q: Does the direct contract with growers feel more secure for long-term demand?
Yes, the direct grower relationships, some spanning decades, help create confidence for growers to invest and provide clearer communication about future demand and customer trends.
Feature | A closer look at Ingka’s new Hawke’s Bay forest
Q: How do you handle pest and wildlife management on these new forestry blocks?
We bring in professional pest control operatives, use thermal imaging to locate and reduce pest populations like deer and goats to near-zero levels, then rely on recreational hunting to maintain low numbers and reduce ongoing costs.
Feature | A closer look at Ingka’s new Hawke’s Bay forest
Q: What's the company's general approach to land that's suitable for farming versus forestry?
We identify the best land—usually arable and flat—and either keep it with the landowner, put it on the market, or subdivide it while keeping the farming system intact elsewhere, ensuring the most productive land remains in production.
