Megan has recently joined Lang Sustainability as an environmental consultant and looks forward to increasing her skills and knowledge in this area. Megan was a territory manager with Nutritech International Ltd over the last 6 years which has given her such a great foundation of skills and knowledge of varying pasture based production systems in both the Waikato and Canterbury. I believe this experience of both these systems and farmers is critical to being able to tailor and provide solid and practical environmental solutions.
Megan’s partner Gethin Owen is a Farm Business Manager on a large scale dairy farm here in Canterbury which Megan has been heavily involved in over the last 2 years. She has implemented and put into action environmental goals and targets & compliance which has given her some great practical based experience.
Megan looks forward to establishing a local client base.
