David Chapman: Principal Scientist, Feed and FarmSystems, DairyNZ

Using PGP to research pasture persistence and find feed alternatives

that are more resilient, productive and

cost-effective

Cecile de Klein:Principal Scientist,AgResearch

Reducing the impact of greenhouse gas emissions in agriculture by developing better tools to help farmers achieve this

Andrew Scott: Research andDevelopmentProject Manager, LIC

When he’s not surfing his beloved Raglan

break, Andrew is working on improving

the national dairy herd through world-leading

gene-sequencing research

Chad Harland: LIC PhD student and researcher, Belgium

Finding new ways to promote geneticvariation that enhance an animal’sproductivity while reducing its impacton the environment

Christine Couldrey:Senior Scientist, LIC

Analyses LIC’s huge DNA-sequence datasets to help breed better cattle

Kevin Macdonald:Senior Scientist, Feed and Farm Systems, DairyNZ

Kevin’s PGP-supported research could produce cattle that eat less while still maintaining productivity, potentially saving the industry millions of dollars

Helen Thoday: Animal welfare and husbandry team developer

Developing new tools tohelp farmers and ruralprofessionals meet newregulations andrequirements around animal welfare

Logan Bowler: Environment Extension Specialist, DairyNZ

Logan is working with farmers and industry to develop innovativenew tools and better effluent management systems

Nick Tait: South Island Environment Extension, DairyNZ

He’s working with farmers, rural business

people and regional councils to lessen the impact of farming on

the environment

Callum Eastwood:Scientist, DairyNZ

Part of a team researching the development and adoption of precision dairy tools and how they might help farms in areas such as labour efficiency, production and animal health

Andrew Cooke:Managing Director, Rezare Systems

Developing industry codes and standards to make handling data easier and more secure, and delivery mechanisms that link different parts of the industry to help maximise the analytical power of data.

DanaCarver:

Wellness and Wellbeing Programme Leader, DairyNZ

Part of a team developing award-winning initiatives to

promote farmer wellness and grow the dairy workforce

Adam Barker:Director, Scarlatti

Using the investment of the PGP, Adam and his team of business and project analysts support initiatives to improve the health and wellbeing of farmers and grow the dairy workforce

Cather Simpson:Associate Professor, Physics and ChemicalSciences, University ofAuckland

Uses spectroscopy,a technique thatanalyses a substance’sinteraction with light,to gain greater knowledgeof milk composition

Rob Ward: Post-doctoral Researcher, Massey University (and Manchester United fan)

His laser-like focus on milk

at a particle level is helping

the industry create better,

more stable products

Michel Nieuwoudt: Research Scientist, University of Auckland

Is using spectroscopy and statistical analysis to optimise the quality of milk’s ‘fingerprint’

Bryony James:Professor in Chemical Materials Engineering, University of Auckland

Her research helps the industry understand how the structuring of dairy products can lead to certain functionalitiesand products

Simon Causer:Research and

Development Manager, Synlait

Using the support of PGP to develop new added-value

products that are putting more money back into the economy

and Synlait milk suppliers’ businesses

Matt Golding:Chair of Food Materials Science, Fonterra-PGP

The Massey University Professor is a vital link between industry and academia in achieving the PGP’s goals in food structure science
