Show Notes
For the past two years, Farmers Weekly journalists Richard Rennie and Neal Wallace have travelled across Asia, Europe and the United States as part of Meeting the Market – a series exploring the global trends and markets shaping New Zealand agriculture.
In this episode of the Farmers Weekly Media Insights podcast, Andy catches up with Richard in a place he's become very familiar with: an airport. They discuss what it's really like reporting from overseas, how Meeting the Market came to life, and the biggest insights and surprises Richard has encountered while covering agriculture around the world.
