Cockrell shares insights into local farming, supported by Fonterra's Farm Insights report, which showcases advanced methods to aid farmers in sustainability.
Cockrell says the exchange also offered him a glimpse into Brazil's vast agricultural operations, underscoring the universal challenges farmers face.
