LandWISE is a foundation member of the Precision Agriculture Association of New Zealand – PAANZ. Our Manager, Dan Bloomer, is a member of the PAANZ Committee which is working to build the organisation.

Dan says PAANZ has established itself, and is now developing resources to help farmers, industry, regulators and the community understand how precision agriculture can play roles increasing productivity while minimising resource use and environmental foot prints.

PAANZ has a wider coverage than the traditional LandWISE focus on cropping, viticulture and horticulture. As a pan-sector body, it aims to link industry and users across the spectrum, and to take a lead on generic issues.

The PAANZ website has a number of useful resources including case studies and news page. See more at http://www.precisionagriculture.org.nz/
