Fonterra has introduced supplementary feeds such as
imported palm-based animal feed which is changing
dairying from pastoral to industrial. Palm-based animal
feed imports have increased 2,700 fold since 1999. This is
part of an overall trend of intensification of dairying in New Zealand. Agriculture is responsible for 49% of NZ’s domestic
greenhouse gas emissions. This increase doesn’t factor in
indirect emissions from forest destruction in Indonesia to
grow supplementary feed for NZ’s dairy herds.

There is a strong public mandate for the Government to adopt a strong target. To do less than New Zealand’s fair share will damage our international reputation and our clean green image.
Accordingly, Greenpeace recommends that the Government adopt a target of 40% emission reductions on 1990 levels by 2020 and announce this target in time for the climate change negotiations in Bonn starting Monday 10 August 2007.

Over time, New Zealand’s dairy sector has shifted from traditional and less intensive pasture farming to a more intensive model. This is having a huge impact on the environment, rapidly increasing greenhouse gas emissions, eroding the clean and green brand on which New Zealand agriculture is built, and lowering economic returns to farmers.

'While Stocks Last' is a report, commissioned by Greenpeace. It exposes a disturbing picture of New Zealand's commercial fisheries and seafood sector. It makes a link between the sustainability of our fisheries and the procurement policies of our supermarkets. It is a wake-up call to all of us; the hard truth is if we continue on in the way we're going, there will be no fish left for future generations. We must change the way in which we treat the oceans, for the sake of everyone – the fishing industry, our fishing communities and our children.
