SUSTAINABILITY

We're aiming for zero waste

NZ Young Farmers are dedicated to sustainability and creating positive change in the rural sector. Waste minimisation is a focus for Grand Final, so we are making efforts to work towards delivering zero waste events. 

  • Bring your own coffee cup to use at the coffee vendors
  • Bring your own water bottle to stay hydrated throughout Practical Day as drinking water will be available on-site
  • Utilise the recycling and compost bins around the venue and help us divert waste from landfill.
  • Bring sun protection and clothing for all weather conditions to make sure to have a great day!
