Broken record

Written by  Milking It

OPINION: It seems that our friends at Greenpeace are never satisfied.

The Government's plan to overhaul restrictions of gene editing and other genetic technologies in New Zealand and establish a dedicated regulator has been well received. The new genetic technology could be the key to reducing emissions in the pastoral sector.

However, Greenpeace remains adamant that genetically engineered "technofixes are not the solution".

Sounding like a broken record, they are still calling for fewer cows and less palm kernel feed and nitrogen fertiliser.

In case Greenpease hasn't noticed, even Organics Aotearoa New Zealand (OANZ) has welcomed discussions to review gene technology rules to meet changes in scientific advancements.
