The next govt will be a National govt...

The Greens are not anti farming. They are pro improved farming. It would be foolish to be anti farming considering we would all starve without it. But it needs to become better, more efficient, less wasteful, and move - like the rest of us - into a new world that faces an existential threat to the survival of humanity...

and if farmers/producers could be required by law to sell 20% of their product locally that would be a bonus as well.  It's stupid having all this homegrown produce that we all have to pay global market prices just so the rich can get richer.  It will oversupply the NZ market, drive food prices down, and solve some of the food poverty problems.

The thing that really gets me is how our dairy products cost far less overseas than here in NZ!
Thats seriously messed up.
