Fonterra is getting ready to tackle its biggest source of emissions - farmers (www.stuff.co.nz)

For those who have been following the "Dairy/Emissions/Climate Change" saga the last few days, this story highlights the role that Fronterra will/must play in turning the industry around to be accepted on the World stage. This includes at least some move to plant based production. Fronterra can dictate to farmers what practices are acceptable, or it won't collect the milk, this has been done before, so Fronterra has the power to force the change.

As one of the early commenters below the story highlights, this does nothing for the pollution of NZ Rivers that continues, though. It IS time for the Farmers to pay, and I suspect many are going to pay dearly.

Here before the "without farmers there is no food" comments. FFS, they aren't telling you to stop, only consider the full environmental impact of how you make a living... you know, like the rest of us.

There's also no food when the environments fucked, so small change now it's better
