Meet The Need And Case IH Partner To Feed Kiwi Families In Need
As food prices continue to rise and food insecurity affects more New Zealanders than ever, Meet the Need is proud to announce their partnership with leading agricultural brand Case IH, to help ensure no Kiwi goes hungry.
Through this collaboration, $50 from the sale of every new Case IH tractor in New Zealand will be donated to Meet the Need - supporting the delivery of nutritious, protein-rich meals to families through foodbanks and community organisations across the motu.
Founded by farmers, Meet the Need offers a practical, grassroots solution to food insecurity, enabling farmers to donate livestock, milk, or funds to provide quality protein to over 130 foodbanks and community groups nationwide. Since launching in 2020, the charity has already provided over 2.3 million meals, but demand continues to grow.
Meet the Need General Manager, Zellara Holden, says this partnership couldn't come at a more important time.
'Right now, food insecurity is rising fast - and for many whānau, meat and dairy are luxuries they simply can't afford,' Holden said. 'We're proud to partner with Case IH, who share our belief that everyone deserves access to nutritious food. Their support helps us deliver real meals to real families - and we're calling on the rural sector to get behind us.'
'We know Kiwi farmers are generous. Every animal, every litre of milk, every dollar - makes a difference.'
Aaron Bett, Business Director – Agriculture ANZ at Case IH, said the partnership reflects the brand's ongoing commitment to the rural sector and to practical, community-driven action. 'Farmers are already doing so much to support their communities,' Bett said. 'Partnering with Meet the Need is another way we can amplify that generosity - and help deliver food security for more New Zealanders.'
As part of the partnership, the Case IH team will also continue to raise awareness and fundraise to support Meet the Need's mission to feed hope, one meal at a time.

Declining School Tech-Course Offerings Cause For Concern
Press Release – Mission Ready HQ Participation in tech-careers and courses among school leavers is declining, at a time when workforce demand for tech roles is rapidly increasing. Up to 10% decrease in student participation Schools opting out of tech courses Leading Kiwi tech-training provider trying to reverse trend Participation in tech-careers and courses among school leavers is declining, at a time when workforce demand for tech roles is rapidly increasing. A concerning trend is emerging from NCEA statistics that reveal a 10.4% decrease in participation and attainment in NCEA Level 1 technology subjects from 2023 to 2024. The decline is even more pronounced for tech-related courses at the tertiary level, with a 7.6% drop in enrolments for Level 3 certificates and a 9.3% decrease in diploma and certificate enrolments in 2023 alone. Leading Kiwi tech-training provider, Mission Ready, says compounding this issue is an increasing number of schools that are also opting out of offering Level 1 technology courses – either entirely or in part. 'Instead of technology courses and careers being popular, growing options among school leavers, there is actually now declining participation with Year 12 and Year 13 students, further limiting their access to these critical learning pathways and opportunities,' says Mission Ready co-founder, Diana Sharma. 'We're especially concerned because despite this downturn in student interest and course offerings, employer demand for tech-skilled workers continues to surge. As an example, 92% of job openings in New Zealand last year required digital expertise, with companies competing fiercely for talent in fields such as data analysis, cloud computing, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence. 'The demand for AI and cybersecurity roles is particularly expected to accelerate in the next 12 months, driven by rapid advancements in technology and a growing need for robust data protection,' says Sharma. In response to this Mission Ready is trying to reverse the trend by teaming up with 10 secondary schools and learning institutions across New Zealand, offering more than $150,000 in scholarships in the process. 'The first 20-strong intake of Year 12/13 student trainees from across the motu has just got under way with a 16-week Tech Career Launchpad programme course aimed at inspiring and equipping Year 12 and 13 students for future careers in the tech sector.' The NCEA/NZQA-certified technology course costs $1920 for each student but is fully funded by the Mission Ready Foundation for the mainly low-decile schools taking part. The part-time course is integrated into the participating schools' curricula and includes live Teams meetings with Mission Ready trainers, self-paced modules, project-based learning and video content. Sharma says key objectives for the programme are challenging stereotypes that tech is 'just for geeks' and aligning students' unique skills and interests with real-world tech careers. 'We are all about bridging the gap between tech education and employment, and creating pathways to higher-skilled, higher-paying roles in the tech workforce – especially for our underrepresented rangatahi.' Mission Ready has scheduled more fully funded courses later this year and into 2026.

Globally loved, Kiwi grown
Sure, McDonald's might be a familiar name around the world, but every Big Mac® served in Aotearoa tells a very local story. McDonald's New Zealand sources around 90% of its ingredients from Kiwi producers – from beef farms to bakeries, its roots are closer than you might think. And while the Big Mac is quick to serve, the farm-to-table process behind it is anything but. It takes just 52 seconds to prepare it in-store, but only after everyday New Zealanders have spent weeks, months or even years preparing its ingredients. Next time you order a Big Mac, take a moment to appreciate the local effort behind each layer. Let's take a closer look at how it all comes together. The bun Did you know the buns of your Big Mac are made daily in Auckland's North Shore? Macca's has been working with ARYZTA bakery in Auckland's Wairau Valley for more than 20 years, and the crew there bake a staggering 1.9 million buns a week, using wheat flour milled in Ōtāhuhu and yeast from Hamilton. The beef 100% New Zealand beef is what you'll find inside the iconic Big Mac - no binders, no fillers, just a dash of salt and pepper. The company works with processors to source quality beef from beef farms around the country, which then goes to the expert team at ANZCO Foods in Waitara to be made into patties. Nearly half a million patties are made every day at ANZCO to meet daily demand nationwide. The lettuce 'Let us' tell you something about Big Mac lettuce – the shredded iceberg lettuce in your Big Mac is primarily sourced from farms in Franklin and the Manawatu. McDonald's works with its supplier, GSF Fresh, to ensure the lettuce is picked, chopped, and delivered fresh to restaurants. The cheese Say cheese! Here's something to smile about: the iconic yellow slice in your Big Mac is produced by none other than dairy co-operative Fonterra, using milk from dairy farms around the country. The cheese is crafted in Eltham, a small Taranaki town that packs a big punch. Each year, its site produces enough cheese for local and export use to cover three billion burgers. Do you want local fries with that? Golden and crispy, Macca's fries are loved by countless Kiwis. And yep, they're made from locally grown spuds, too. Each year, McDonald's sources tonnes of special potato varieties like Russet Burbank, Innovator and Shepody from farms across Canterbury. Once harvested, they're turned into fries at the McCain Foods plant in Timaru, then delivered to restaurants around the country. So now you know, from beef to bun, cheese to lettuce – every Big Mac is stacked with Kiwi-made goodness. Cheers to that!

Toast Announces Expansion As Thousands Of Kiwi Families Face Energy Hardship
Toasts Energy Wellbeing programme provides a unique blend of support: affordable electricity pricing (including a 30% discount during winter), reconnection for families who have been cut off and personalised in-home energy advice delivered by trained NZ's only not-for-profit electricity retailer says tick-box compliance alone won't keep families warm this winter. As another bitter winter descends on Aotearoa, thousands of New Zealand families are entering the season in homes they can't afford to heat. Against this backdrop, social enterprise Toast Electric has announced its expansion into Horowhenua and Wairarapa. It currently serves 1100 homes – having grown its Wellington customer base by more than half over the past year – and now supporting over 250 families through its Energy Wellbeing programme. Toast was launched in 2022 by Sustainability Trust with a bold mission: to eliminate energy hardship by reimagining how power is delivered. Through a simple but disruptive model, every four paying households or small businesses who switch to Toast help fund support for one household living in energy hardship. 'Too many New Zealanders are being failed by a system that confuses compliance with care,' comments Phil Squire, Head of Toast and a national expert in healthy homes assessments (with over 20 years' experience leading regional healthy housing programmes). 'This winter, we're seeing families who are in homes that are technically 'compliant' with the rental Healthy Homes Standards but still living in freezing conditions, making impossible trade-offs between heating and food. Compliance doesn't guarantee wellbeing and it's time we stopped pretending it does,' he adds. Toast's Energy Wellbeing programme provides a unique blend of support: affordable electricity pricing (including a 30% discount during winter), reconnection for families who have been cut off and personalised in-home energy advice delivered by trained assessors. 'It's not just a bill reduction – it's a full-circle model that focuses on what truly makes a home healthy and liveable,' comments Squire. Households are onboarded to Toast via a network of financial mentors and social service agencies who also provide financial advice and wrap-around support before referral to Toast. And the need is growing. According to Consumer NZ and University of Otago estimates, more than 360,000 households across New Zealand are in energy hardship. Over 140,000 families took out loans last year just to pay their power bills and more than 40,000 homes are at risk of disconnection each year. 'These are not edge cases – they are the reality for hundreds of thousands of families, many of them renting in poor-quality housing stock that remains difficult or outright unaffordable to heat,' comments Squire. While the government's Healthy Homes Standards were intended to lift the floor for rental housing quality, Squire says that without robust enforcement and real-world measurement, too many families are falling through the cracks. He adds: 'The current system allows landlords to self-certify compliance and take advantage of multiple exemptions, meaning many rental homes may appear up to standard on paper but remain cold, damp and unhealthy in practice.' Toast is now calling for the introduction of a national Home Energy Warrant of Fitness (WOF) – a system already in place in parts of Europe and the UK. Much like the existing vehicle WOF model, it would require independent, licensed assessors to verify whether a home is truly safe, warm and energy-efficient. Toast argues that this is long overdue. 'We wouldn't let someone certify their own car as roadworthy…so why are we doing that with the places people sleep, raise their children and try to stay healthy?' he asks. The team behind Toast believes that practical, community-based solutions like theirs can help fix what legislation alone cannot. Their wraparound model, powered entirely by reinvested revenue, ensures that families aren't just told to 'use less power' but are supported to live in homes that are healthier and cheaper to run. The stories behind the numbers speak for themselves. One Wellington man, who had lived without electricity for two years, was finally reconnected through Toast's programme and told assessors he could now take a hot shower without using a torch – something many take for granted. Others describe the relief of turning on the heater without fear of a bill they simply can't pay. This is what energy wellbeing looks like in action. University of Otago research has confirmed what the Toast team already knows: reducing bill stress leads to better mental health, more stable family dynamics and improved physical wellbeing. The ripple effect is significant – not just for individual households but for the communities they live in. Dr Kimberley O'Sullivan, leading the University of Otago research exploring Toast Electric's Energy Wellbeing programme, says 'We've heard from Toast Electric's referral partners, Energy Wellbeing Customers and Regular Customers who all report…improved wellbeing and describe how relieving electricity bill stress enables them to feel more comfortable and relaxed at home and better connect with their family, friends and community. Regular customers also feel good about being able to help others in need while paying their electricity bills they would already be paying. Toast Electric's not-for-profit model is working within the market framework to deliver essential electricity and improve wellbeing.' With plans to double customer numbers again over the next year, expand into Horowhenua and Wairarapa, and grow its referral network of local agencies, Toast is proving that ethical, equitable electricity retailing is not only possible – it's essential. 'Energy should be a right, not a luxury,' says Squire. 'And until we make that true for every family in Aotearoa, we're not done.'
