It is fantastic to see IHIP the collaborative capacity building initiative between @MasseyUni @ZespriCorporate @nzapples @NitschkeMalcolm @Farmlands @ANZ_NZ @FoodHQNZ @AgFirstNZ @gohorticulture1 @FarmersWeeklyNZ having such impact on young growers.
Meg Becker says the International Horticultural Immersion Program (IHIP) has been a massive career accelerator.
The program took her all around the world and taught her technical and leadership skills that she has brought back to her work at T&G in #HawkesBay.
