Fonterra Settles Greenpeace Claim Over Anchor Butter Labelling
A day after selling its consumer businesses, Fonterra has settled a civil claim, filed by Greenpeace, out of court.
Run by a small group of dairy farmers, SMASH run events throughout the country to empower farmers on farm and animal management.
It is inviting farmers to take part in an online survey on paths to farm ownership.
“We want to find out what career path dairy farmers have taken, and what their plans are for the future,” says SMASH.
“Have you bought a farm? are you planning to buy a farm? Or is farm ownership not your end goal?
“Whatever your farming career path, we would like to hear from you. We want to find out what dairy farming career end goals look like nowadays and how people who buy farms have achieved their ownership dream.
“Once we have the results, we are going to share them so all farmers can benefit from what we learn.”
SMASH says it values farmers’ time, so people who fill in their survey will go in the draw to win one of two Kapiti Cheese hampers - (valued at $200 each and donated by Fonterra.

SMASH is running this research with funding and support from the Ministry for Primary Industries' Sustainable Food and Fibre Futures Fund and DairyNZ.
