OPINION: In the wake of the Zero Carbon Act passing, a recent Stuff article presented "everything NZ needs to do to get to Zero Carbon". The reality is that there is no technology coming to save us from the bloated dairy herd that's sending our climate emissions through the roof. Fewer cows, the elimination of synthetic fertiliser and diversification of land-use into more plant-based, regenerative farming. The Vivid Economic Report commissioned by members of parliament investigated three different scenarios to getting to net zero emissions by 2050. They are aiming to transform farming from a climate problem into a climate solution by turning their farms into carbon sinks.
