Sustainable avocados visit

Hilary Johnson —

Our host was Danni van der Heidjen, 2018 New Zealand Grower of the Year.

Now Avoco's Quality and Export Systems Manager, Danni explained and showed a group of Year 12 Innovative Horticulture students how the production of avocados can impact on the environment and how growers respond to these impacts through sustainable systems and practices. She also talked about how technological advances have changed this and will change it over time.
