Episode 98 – On a mission

In this episode, Conan Moynihan, farm consultant at Force of Nature and host of the From the Soil Up podcast, reflects on what it means to be part of the next generation shaping New Zealand agriculture.

Guest:

• Conan Moynihan, Host of From the Soil Up

Host:

• Sarah Perriam-Lampp, Editor-in-Chief, CountryWide

Conan shares the realities of succession and land ownership, the tension between profitability and environmental limits, and why people sit at the centre of every successful farm system. 

He also discusses how tools like AI and data can support better decision-making without replacing human judgement, observation and connection, and why progress in the sector is best achieved by creating space for open, balanced conversations rather than pushing to the extremes.
