Rural Governance Workshops

The Rural Governance course is for those who are involved in ownership and management of farming, or agribusiness, and professionals who advise rural clients.

In this course, you will gain insights into the benefits that a board can bring to agribusinesses, and the fundamental responsibilities of a board and individual directors in a distinctly rural context. With a focus on farming safety, it also covers board relationships, robust processes, good decision making, and key elements of the operations of a board.

Content covered

  • Governance, legal and regulatory framework essentials
  • Board charters, the role of the board, culture and ethics, board composition
  • Board protocols, meetings and papers
  • Board and management relationships and succession planning

Rural Crime Prevention Workshops


Federated Farmers are proud to offer Rural Crime Prevention workshops in conjunction with FMG and the New Zealand Police.

Did you know that on average, there are approximately 54,000 reported burglaries in NZ every year? That’s one every 10 minutes and many more go unreported!

If you’re concerned about the security of your property, please come along to your local workshop to gain insights from Rick and the team.

Our workshops include:
  • Security best practices – catered for the farming community.
  • The opportunity to share your stories and hear other local’s experiences.
  • Advice from the New Zealand Police, Executive Chairperson for Federated Farmers Meat & Fibre Industry Group and FMG Insurance.
  • Networking in your area to build a stronger community to tackle rural crime.
Snacks and refreshments are provided, along with a handy Rural Crime Prevention Advice Guide, including home security checklist and key notes from the workshop.
