Rere Ki Uta, Rere Ki Tai

Team Spotlight | Rhys Hikuroa

We're lucky to have Rhys as part of the Rere ki uta rere ki tai - Living Soil Project team as the project's Sustainable Nutrient Advisor.

Raised in Te Pahu and a Lincoln University Agribusiness and Innovation graduate, Rhys brings extensive experience across the agricultural sector and a passion for helping farmers succeed.

As an experienced Area Field Consultant and Sustainable Nutrient Management practitioner, Rhys works closely with farmers to support practical, profitable, and environmentally responsible farming systems.

His knowledge, experience, and commitment to the kaupapa make him an invaluable part of our team.

We love having you on the team, Rhys!

A huge thank you to Farm Source for generously providing lunch at our recent Rere ki uta rere ki tai - Living Soil Project On-Farm Day at Wilith Farm.

Events like these are made possible through the support of organisations that are committed to bringing farmers together to learn, connect, and share ideas.

We really appreciate Farm Source helping us create an environment where attendees could continue the day's conversations, build new connections, and reflect on the learnings from the paddock over a great meal.

Ngā mihi for your support and contribution to a fantastic day.

If you're heading along to Fieldays this year, come and see us in the Main Pavilion alongside AgriSea.

As we prepare to head back to Mystery Creek, we're reflecting on the conversations, connections, and shared learnings from Fieldays 2025. From discussions around soil health and diverse pastures to mātauranga Māori and practical farm change, it was encouraging to see so many people interested in the future of farming.

We're looking forward to catching up with familiar faces, meeting new people, and sharing the latest learnings from the Rere ki uta rere ki tai - Living Soil Project.

Before you join us this year, take a look back at some of the highlights from Fieldays 2025 and the conversations that continue to shape our kaupapa.
