An appointed body of farmers who will help us ensure emissions mitigation tools are fit-for-purpose.
Our ambition is to ensure all farmers in Aotearoa New Zealand have equitable access to affordable, effective solutions to reduce emissions.
One of the ways we’re going to help ensure the tools we’re investing in are fit-for-purpose and will be used by Kiwi farmers once they’re available, is through feedback from our Farmer Focus Group.
The Group is made up of 12 farmers from diverse backgrounds who will provide us with their views and feedback regarding implementation of emissions mitigation tools across the different livestock systems in New Zealand.
