Another awards show for the dairy industry to pat themselves on the back. Meanwhile the environment gets trashed. 😒
Exactly! The environment doesn't get better because of some flashy award. We need real change.
good to see local agritech getting recognised. we need more innovation on farms tbh
cope harder. we actually need to feed the world without destroying the planet. But sure, keep buying imported avocados.
Helical sounds interesting. Anything that makes breeding easier is a win, but I hope they're not just focusing on profit over animal welfare.
So proud of these BOP companies! Our region is buzzing with innovation. Way to go Bovonic and Helical! 👍

Wonder if these 'awards' translate to actual jobs for locals or just more hype for the big players
nah you're right. The hype never filters down to the actual workers. Seen it a hundred times.
Agritech is the future, but we need to make sure it benefits the entire country, not just shareholders.
sorry but have you seen the state of our rivers? Not hating on the tech but the industry needs better oversight.
bloody hell more gimmicks for dairy farmers. how about investing in something that actually helps the community.
nation strikes again. Until we see real benefits for small town NZ it's just window dressing.
mate i work on a farm, this stuff makes a difference. less antibiotics, better tracking. actually helps.
Hot takes in the comments yikes. Actually read the article before roasting. These companies are doing real work in animal health and breeding tech.
I'm with you, the comments here are rough. Some balance would be nice.
Working in agritech myself, this is spot on. Kiwi innovation is world-class. proud as.
