Pasture Summit 2020
Pasture Summit was established in 2017 by a group of progressive and committed farm business owners and dairy sector experts from across
New Zealand & Ireland. With a wealth of experience and knowledge on our organising committee, Pasture Summit is organised and run by farmers, for
farmers and supported by dairy industry research and extension leaders.
The 2018 Pasture Summit conferences were the first events of their kind in New Zealand with an ongoing connection to an international network.
A bi annual event between Ireland and New Zealand, the next Pasture Summit in 2020 will be held in Ireland with the 2022 event returning to New Zealand.
The next Pasture Summit will take place in Ireland on 10 and 11 June 2020.
