Federated Farmers Calls for Continuity as Fonterra CEO Miles Hurrell Steps Down
More of the same please, says Federated Farmers dairy chair Karl Dean when asked about who should succeed Miles Hurrell as Fonterra chief executive.
The lobby now claims Fonterra's 'Carbon Zero' claim is "based entirely on ineffective carbon offsetting", despite carbon offsetting being a major part of the Labour-Greens backed policy for NZ.
Greenpeace claims that this is an embarrassment for Fonterra, and for New Zealand, which prides itself on being a 'clean green' producer. It claims this is cynical greenwash. Change the record.
What's embarrassing is Greenpeace bagging New Zealand farmers, who are already among the most efficient in the world, with an on-farm carbon footprint approximately one third of the global average.
