It will happen...

Written by  Milking It

OPINION: Film director James Cameron is adamant that his plans to transform 1,500 hectares of land in South Wairarapa into an organic vegetable farm remain on track.

The outspoken critic of animal agriculture is defending his decision to graze hundreds of dairy cattle on the farm.

Cameron is a big proponent of plant-based diets and has been outspoken about the need to move away from animal products to improve the environment.

So when he decided to graze cattle, some Wairarapa locals accused Cameron of not walking the talk, and hypocrisy, when it comes to being ‘animal-free’.

Caught out, Cameron now says Covid has forced them into a holding pattern for over a year and the veggie farm initiative will start soon.
