Today on The Country, Jamie Mackay caught up with Climate Change Commission chair Dr Rod Carr, for a discussion on on-farm greenhouse gas emissions.
On with the show:
Dr Rod Carr - Part 1:
We ask the chair of the Climate Change Commission why he pushed back against several recommendationsfrom He Waka Eke Noa, including the idea that farmers could offset their greenhouse gas emissions with all the vegetation on their farms that sequesters carbon - namely shelter belts, native bush, woody vegetation and potentially even grass?
Rabobank's Head of Sustainable Business Development discusses some interesting new research from Rabobank and KiwiHarvest looking at how Kiwis' diets and food shopping behaviours are changing.
We're spending more on food, less on meat and there are more vegans and vegetarians, but fewer Kiwis are getting their 5+ a day of vegetables and fruit.
And we still don't know the difference between a "Best Before" and a "Use By" label on our food.
