The inevitable carbon taxation for NZ farmers

After the usual milk market report from Chris Walkland, Ben is joined by Phil Journeaux of Agfirst Waikato and John Allen, Kite’s Managing Partner to talk about the inevitable carbon taxation for farmers in NZ. Phil outlines He Waka Eke Noa (The Primary Sector Climate Action Partnership) and how they are consulting with farmers about this more sustainable alternative to the ETS (Emission Trading Scheme), including how it will be administered and what impact this could have for farms in terms of costs and profitability. John and Phil also discuss the impact this could have on both farmers and consumers, not just in NZ, if this sets a global precedent.
