This government hates farmers

[harm_less]

and so it begins...  I just heard on the news tonight that Fonterra want to cut 30% odd from their supply chain emissions
As a supplier Fonterra really have no choice...

So 30% less animals is the answer then?
That's going to affect farmers profit.
Sounds a great plan for the economy doesn't it?
Food prices will be even higher.
Thankfully we have act and nzf.
We don't need to do anything more than what our trading partners are doing.
They won't stop buying our products, it's not like any other country will produce anything cleaner.

You've missed the point completely sunshine.

If we don't reduce the emissions from the way we farm and manufacture our products our customers will essentially blacklist New Zealand because they will perceive that our products aren't clean. No amount of BS and doubletalk will change that fact and to further compound the issue we have the longest freight routes on Earth to get our products to market so we're behind the eight ball before we even start in terms of food miles and environmental black marks.

But at least when our primary products' export value plummets as a result we'll have plenty of surplus to supply New Zealand's domestic market.
