Speaker/s: Jacob Manning

Manning is an ex-accountant who left the field to build his first company in biotechnology, centred on supporting horticulturalists’ transition to organic practices. He grew up in rural New Zealand and greatly respects the primary industry. However, he said that it has become increasingly apparent that New Zealand needs to move towards sustainable horticulture-style techniques.

Manning built biological products that helped bridge the transition from intensive chemical practice to organic.
