Description:

Welcome to another episode of Sarah’s Country. Sarah is joined again by four great guests to talk about the matters that matter most.

Under alert level two Kiwis will start to move around the country and hospitality will reopen so it's time to support local producers and restaurants. We discuss the local food system with Angela Clifford from Eat NZ, a not-for-profit food movement dedicated to connecting people to our land through our food.

Sarah's Country loves using social media to build a community, however, there is a science to how Facebook works that is not doing farmers any good. We speak to Duncan Humm from the NZ Farming Facebook page on his advice.

National's agriculture spokesman Todd Muller says farmers need to be heard not patronised following the Government’s latest drought relief package. We talk through water storage, working safely in level two and where pending policy announcements such as essential freshwater are at.

In under a week more than 2000 people have joined the supportive Facebook group Hawke’s Bay Drought, founded by Poppy Renton. She’ll join us to talk about how the region’s farmers are working together to help each other through what is being described as the worst drought in New Zealand history.

Sarah Perriam, the host of Sarah's Country, is joined in self-isolation still broadcasting from the Lincoln University campus as an ‘essential service’ with her guest co-host, her Irish producer, Joel Rock.

1. “New Zealand food stories are the best in the world” with Angela Clifford, Chief Executive, Eat NZ
