The founder of Carbonz, and co-chair of Future Farmers NZ, says it’s time for native forests to make a comeback if New Zealand wants to curb climate change.

Junior Taulogo:

It’s Rural Wellness Week on The Country and today we head to heartland Hawke’s Bay to Patoka, one of the farming districts most affected by Cyclone Gabrielle, to talk to an inspirational sheep and beef farmer with a great attitude and a wonderful back story.
