Our Work
TAC provides farm management consultancy to primary industries specializing mainly in dairy production systems & personal wellbeing.
Alexis has more than 20 years of experience in the dairy industry globally, having farmed and consulted in New Zealand, Australia and South America.
His work to date has been of a broad spectrum, spanning the fields of consultancy, business development, extension, education and farm and business management.
Recently Alexis has taken Yoga and Meditation training to help farmers strengthening mental and physical health, as it is a big issue in agriculture and in our societies. “DairyNZ’s report highlighted that rural mental health is an ongoing issue, with 62% of dairy farmers stating they, or someone on their farm, has experienced mental health issues in the past 12 months” (Federated Farmers NZ, September 21, 2020).”
A healthy business needs a healthy mind and body. Yoga and meditation are great tools to strengthen our mind, body and emotional wellbeing.
To produce healthy food we need healthy farmers, environment and businesses; interconnecting people, plants, soils and animals; creating businesses with a holistic approach to stay sustainably as beings for many more millions of years to come. TAC is here to help and support!
