Photo Credit/Victoria Birkinshaw \n  \n \nDaniel Eb \nDaniel is a communications specialist with a love for the land.  In an age of shifting social sentiment\, disruptive technology and a redefined social license\, the story of rural New Zealand sits at a crossroads. It’s a story about good farmers and small towns\, strong values and the core of the Kiwi identity. The way we tell that story needs to change.  Daniel helps organisations understand their place in a changing world and how digital transformation\, particularly in communications\, can deliver results. His background reaches across tech communications in Europe\, start-up success stories at home\, service in the NZ Army and running Angus cattle on the family farm. \n  \n \nMike and Sharon Barton – Glen Emmreth Farm \nMike and Sharon Barton live on the north western side of Lake Taupo where they own a 142ha beef finishing property overlooking the lake.  More than 20% of the farm is in conservation and riverbank plantings. Their farm has been the site of a seven-year trial by Ag Research Ltd looking into methods of mitigating nitrogen leaching from beef farming systems. In addition\, Landcare Research have established a permanent deep drainage laboratory / lysimeter facility on the farm to continue researching ways of lessening the environmental footprint from food production. \n
