AMINZ and MPI Launch New Farm Debt Mediation Video Series
AMINZ has partnered with MPI to develop a new Farm Debt Mediation video series aimed at farmers, creditors and advisers.
The series provides a practical introduction to the Farm Debt Mediation Scheme and explains the key steps involved in the mediation process. Presented by mediators Mark Copeland and Rosemarie Brown, the short videos cover eligibility requirements, what participants can expect during mediation, the outcomes that may follow, and more.
“Our aim is to provide a learning resource that makes farm debt mediation accessible and easier to understand for those considering or participating in the process,” says AMINZ Executive Director Monique Pearson.
Whether you are a farmer seeking support, a creditor navigating the scheme, or an adviser assisting clients, the videos offer valuable guidance on how farm debt mediation works in practice.
“This is the first video series of its kind in Aotearoa New Zealand,” says Monique. “We are excited to be able to share this resource and help more people understand how the scheme works.”
The videos were soft launched at Fieldays 2026, where AMINZ showcased the resource to help raise awareness of the Farm Debt Mediation Scheme and discuss how dispute resolution can support rural communities through challenging times.
