Northland and Taranaki have teamed up to share information and expertise as they work to discover new crop and land-use options. Both regions have existing initiatives, Branching Out in Taranaki and Tuputupu - Grow Northland in Northland, dedicated to exploring high-value, optimal land use alternatives and the development of value-add products and manufacturing opportunities. These initiatives are building on existing regional strengths to grow economic value and export potential for New Zealand. Bryan talked to the project manager in each region – Greg Hall in Northland and Michelle Bauer in Taranaki.
