Penny Clark-Hall, founder of Social Licence Consulting, delves into the importance of social licenses in New Zealand's agricultural sector.
She explains how these licenses, rooted in trust and stakeholder approval, are essential for maintaining market access and avoiding increased regulations or protests.
"Having social licenses is about being brave and having those conversations with people that have many different views," Clark-Hall says.
Although Clark-Hall says they don't come in a physical form, they provide enhanced sustainability and market leverage for Kiwi farmers in a rapidly evolving global landscape.
