B+LNZ works to ensure our farmers receive increased value from our sustainable farming systems and natural grass-fed beef and lamb – we identify and create market opportunities, work to dismantle trade barriers and grow consumer preference for NZ beef and lamb.
B+LNZ works in areas that farmers can't individually, such as having a voice with government policymakers. We advocate for and tangibly influence policy development.
As part of a Beef + Lamb New Zealand Innovation Farm project, Scott Linklater, of Link Farms Ltd, has been running a trial to maximise both profit and productivity by running lambs on fodder beet (with hay, to ensure the lambs have a balanced diet).
