One of New Zealand's leading farming academics said, shock/horror, organic farming can be bad for consumers and the environment. Plus, she shed a very public tear over the Groundswell protest.

Graham Law:

The Taupō dairy farmer is also a member of the Rabobank Upper North Island Client Council. He recently attended the inaugural financial skills workshop in Taupō. Funded by the bank's Client Councils, the New Zealand workshops were also open to non-clients and there was no cost for participants to attend.
