Cash-positive Planning
At MyEnviro, we are committed to helping farmers achieve outcomes through smart, future-focused planning. This means continually investing in our platform and exploring options to bring cash-positive outcomes to our clients, while partnering with other technology providers to create seamless solutions.
MyEnviro is the secure, central and certified source of truth for kiwi landowners. Together, we can help you make informed decisions that are both environmentally and financially positive for all farming systems.
WHY DIGITAL: Digital Environmental Footprint
Over time, the farm assurance requirements and regulations imposed on farmers are continuously evolving. By shifting from traditional analogue plans consisting of large printed documents to streamlined digital plans that offer increased efficiency, detail, and adaptability.
By utilising digital solutions like MyEnviro, farmers can now create living documents that evolve with on-farm changes, ensuring that their environmental plans remain accurate, up-to-date, and reflective of the current practices – while driving cash-positive outcomes.

How MyEnviro Works
Farmgate
Connectivity
MyEnviro links the many moving parts of NZ agriculture into a secure, central, certified source of truth.
It’s a single platform to measure environmental impact – fertiliser application data, pasture growth, water quality, N leaching and more – all in one place.
Sensor
Eco-System
MyEnviro supports producers and regulators to move to online FEPs – designed for automated data, collective accountability, AI powered analytics and more informed decision-making.
Digital Farm
Environment Plans
MyEnviro supports producers and regulators to move to online FEPs – designed for automated data, collective accountability, AI powered analytics and more informed decision-making.
Artificial
Intelligence
In the long-term, our real-time data eco-system will work in tandem with cognitive AI technology to provide farmers with actionable analytics – turning data into recommended actions and predicted outcomes.
Satellite
Imaging
MyEnviro uses satellite enabled systems to map farms – the first of many data layers that help producers and regulators understand changes in their environment.
We measure environmental impact through a sensor eco-system.
We integrate data that our sensor partners gather from hardware installed on-farm – aggregating a range of monitored metrics (like water quality and pasture growth) for a more complete picture of local environmental changes.
The MyEnviro Team
Brent Paterson
Managing Director
I’ve been in the agricultural sector all my life and farm a 600-hectare property in Patoka, Hawke’s Bay. My wife Jackie and I have two university aged daughters and we are all passionate about ensuring our property exceeds compliance and regulation requirements. In 2005 I founded Rural Directions, a professional recruitment and HR service leading the way for New Zealand’s primary sector supply chain businesses. Shortly after, I started an environmental advisory services business that has evolved into MyEnviro as we know it today. The MyEnviro platform and advisory services that complements it, along with Rural Directions, are run on the same values that we manage our farm – we care about people and the land. I’m excited about the positive impact MyEnviro is having for farmers in enabling them to meet their NZFAP Plus silver and gold requirements, with a 100% audit pass rate.
To get out in front of environmental scrutiny, just prove you aren’t part of the problem. MyEnviro gives Kiwi farmers the confidence to grow sustainably, and prove it to the world."
