Select committee 'blew it' - Feds
Sheep and beef farmers are urging the Government to do more to stop productive farmland overrun by pine trees.
NZ's red meat sector says it is committed to playing its part to address climate change, improving our waterways and protecting New Zealand's biodiversity. However, it wants a future Government to implement these policies in relation to the environment and climate change. Nathan Guy, Meat Industry Association, and Kate Acland, Beef+Lamb NZ explain.
OPINION: New Zealand sheep and beef farming is built around extensive low-impact grassland grazing systems.
We are widely recognised as having one of the most environmentally efficient farming systems in the world. The carbon footprint of New Zealand beef and lamb from farm to plate is amongst the lowest in the world.
While the sector is up for the challenge of doing even better, we are asking for some specific changes to policies as the cumulative economic impact of the current poorly crafted rules is crippling.
