TeenAg is all about developing and show casing the knowledge and skills of our future agriculture leaders.
TeenAg has been rapidly growing since the first clubs started in 2009 and now we have around 1600 members throughout the country. TeenAg Clubs provide a context for learning about agriculture and a place to develop broader life skills. The TeenAg clubs are an important part of the wider pipeline strategy by providing a continuous link between AgriKidsNZ and New Zealand Young Farmers.
The TeenAg competition series was piloted nationally for the first time in 2011 with resounding success. The competition runs alongside the FMG Young Farmer of the Year Regional Finals across the seven regions and leads into the Grand Final each year. The top two Regional Final place-getters are invited to compete at the Grand Final where they have the opportunity to take home the National TeenAg Champion title for that year.
The programme aims to introduce and promote a positive picture about agriculture and agricultural careers from an early age. Our intention is to make agriculture fun and accessible to students from all walks of life, they do not need to be from a farm, they just need to have a love of the land and keen to get their hands dirty.
