132 | In this episode, we’re joined by Lindy Nelson, a sheep and beef farmer, former emergency nurse, governance leader, and the driving force behind major change in New Zealand agriculture. Lindy shares the story behind founding the Agri Women’s Development Trust, why she believed women needed stronger pathways into leadership and decision-making, and how that work has influenced rural communities across the country.We also dive into her role in Safer Farms and the Farm Without Harm movement, where the focus is on practical, real-world solutions to reduce harm on farms. From quad bike safety and rollover protection to better footwear, calving improvements, and technology that helps farming teams work more safely and efficiently, Lindy explains how safety and productivity go hand in hand.
