Welcome to the Guild

The New Zealand Guild of Agricultural Journalists and Communicators supports the professionals who help tell the stories of our food and fibre sector - through professional development, connection, recognition and a shared commitment to clear, credible communication.

Supporting those telling farmers’ stories since 1958

OUR PASSION IS AGRICULTURE

Nurturing growth & sustaining the industry’s future

One of the Guild's key objectives is to have agriculture recognised for the major role it plays in New Zealand's export-led economy.

Since 1958, our members have brought our country's innovative and sustainable methods of food and fibre production for domestic and export markets to the attention of urban and rural New Zealanders alike.

Within the Guild there is deep expertise across journalism, communications, public relations, broadcasting, photography, and rural storytelling, bringing together experienced professionals who understand the food and fibre sector and the role clear, credible communication plays in its success.
