Finalist Beef + Lamb NZ Awards 2026

Gallagher Innovation Award 2026 Finalist

We’re incredibly proud to share that Tairāwhiti Whenua Charitable Trust has been named a finalist in the 2026 Beef + Lamb New Zealand Awards in the Gallagher Innovative Farming Award category.

This recognition sits with many people. Our whenua Māori landowners, the farmers working our land every day, and the partners walking alongside us and our people as we explore new ways of farming for the future.

Across Tairāwhiti, the work has always been about more than production alone. It’s about whenua, whānau, and long-term resilience. Supporting Māori landowners, strengthening farming systems, and ensuring our whenua continues to thrive for generations to come.

Ngā mihi to Beef + Lamb New Zealand for this recognition and for continuing to champion innovation and leadership across Aotearoa’s farming sector.

To stand alongside such inspiring finalists from across the country is an honour in itself.

Ngā mihi nui to everyone who has been part of the journey so far.
