Agriculture and Sustainability

New Zealand is globally renowned for its innovative and sustainable agriculture, making it the ideal destination to gain hands-on experience in one of the world’s most productive farming systems. At a glance, our agriculture and sustainability itineraries include access to dairy, beef and sheep farms, agritech tours, immersive aquaculture and forestry experiences, and an introduction to indigenous cultivation.

Visit an award-winning working farm

Our students visit a local farm, and speak with our farmers. They get a true agriculture experience beyond just a farm show.

Experience a day at a New Zealand school

We can add a school visit as part of your itinerary, so that students can make friends with kiwi kids and experience the school day.

Volunteer at a Māori food garden

We can connect our groups to a traditional Māori food garden, to learn about indigenous practices and even volunteer.

Connecting the land and the water

The link between the water and land is important, so we work with scientists to better understand this connection.
