Before jumping into the episodes you can read the full report or enjoy a brief introduction as a monologue from the series host, Sarah Perriam-Lampp.

She summarises the details of the report 'Are industry good organisations good for industry?'  and a proposed solution, The Common Ground. This covers the reasons for reimagining our future, the four key constraints that appear to be holding us back, and the way to bring about change.

"The alternative is that we have change forced upon us rather than in our control and I know what I'd rather have," shares Sarah.

The Common Ground was produced by CountryWide Media funded by AGMARDT in conjunction with KPMG New Zealand.

In 2024, AGMARDT and KPMG New Zealand launched The Common Ground - a home for the conversation following the report "Are industry good organisations, good for industry?"

The Common Ground is a collaborative platform and a call for Communities of Action for the redesign of New Zealand's agriculture and horticulture's "industry good" system.

How can the way we work together on common ground to be fit-for-purpose for the rapidly changing future of wicked problems and big opportunities and have a collaborative approach on everything from environmental to markets?

In this series hosted by Sarah Perriam-Lampp, we speak to the thought-leaders behind the proposal, the sector heads, producers and emerging leaders who might carry The Common Ground solutions forward.

What is the Common Ground?  (monologue explainer)

Reimagining our future means reimagining our industry's good ecosystem.

The vision of ‘what industry good would look like to maximise our future’ with the concept of a collaboration platform - The Common Ground is a starting point as one possible option of what a future model could look like to get the conversation going.

Join us as we dive into understanding how we could change how we work together whilst acknowledging the ‘good’ industry good bodies do have.  

This episode, hosted by agricultural journalist Sarah Perriam-Lampp features KPMG Head of Global Agribusiness, Ian Proudfoot one of the authors of the report and AGMARDT general manager, Lee-Ann Marsh. 

"It’s everyone's job and everyone has a role to play but it’s about how we do it effectively," explains Lee-Ann Marsh.   

What’s discussed?
The world that we are operating in now and that unlocking the opportunities globally will only happen with collaboration
Why He Waka Eke Noa was a great opportunity but why trust broke down and the difference between the concept of The Common Ground
Explain the set of principles of The Common Ground and how industry leaders should see the benefit rather than threatened by the concept as it’s about co-investing together to make funds go further
Why the ‘big bang’ model of restructure the whole system will not change the culture and a change in thinking

How would the Common Ground work?  feat. Ian Proudfoot & Lee-Ann Marsh

'Are industry good organisations good for industry?'

That’s the burning question proposed as part of the concept of a collaboration platform - The Common Ground. Join us as we dive into understanding why we need change whilst acknowledging the ‘good’ industry good bodies do have.  

This episode, hosted by agricultural journalist Sarah Perriam-Lampp featuring AGMARDT Chair, Nick Pyke with previous experience across kiwifruit and arable industry as well as Waikato farmer, Beef + Lamb NZ director, AGMARDT Associate Trustee and Nuffield Scholar, Phil Weir.

"The nature of farming has become more diversified since the establishment of the Commodities Levies Act. Farming now is an increasingly complex business so how do we best reflect that in the needs of our farmers," explains Phil Weir.  

What’s discussed?
The duplication of work done between organisation and the efficiency collaboration on common work would bring. 
Reflection on the last 30 years from the establishment of the Commodities Levies Act 1990 but it hasn’t continually improved to be effective for a changing landscape
Why farming businesses today require different needs
Why haven’t previous attempts worked and why trust has been eroded but is needed more than ever to move forward
