We are thrilled to announce this year’s winner of the Align Farms Scholarship goes to Isla Taylor!

Growing up on a farm in Hinds, Isla has developed a strong appreciation for the dedication and teamwork that drive New Zealand’s agriculture industry. She recognises that agriculture is one of the most important and valuable industries in our country, and that it helps keep our communities strong and supported.

Isla plans to pursue a career in agribusiness and food marketing, blending her love for design, creativity, and agriculture to help tell the story of New Zealand food. She hopes to support the next generation of farmers and inspire others to see the possibilities in this evolving industry.

We are proud to support the next generation of leaders like Isla, who are passionate about growing the future of farming in New Zealand. Congratulations, Isla!
