In the last decades, small family farms have been bought out by big corporate producers that can shoulder the huge cost of expensive synthetic fertiliser, irrigation and feed. The Government played an active part, including by constructing a synthetic fertiliser factory, subsidising massive irrigation schemes and encouraging the draining of wetlands.<\/p>\n\n<p>Our New Zealand government needs to turn this around and start supporting the shift to regenerative organic farming. Turning our country\u2019s biggest polluter into a leading climate solution would have an overwhelmingly bigger impact than anything you or I could do as individuals. We can have thriving rural communities where the land, animals and people are healthy. And where our climate is safe for our children, grandchildren and all generations to come.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>You can help by spreading the word. <\/strong>Share this page with your friends, family, whanau and help build a better future for Aotearoa. <\/p>\n\n<!-- Go to www.addthis.com\/dashboard to customize your tools -->\n                <div class=\"addthis_inline_share_toolbox\"><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:158px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A vision for the future Some NZ Farmers are already showing how to turn agriculture from being our biggest polluter into one of the best climate solutions.&nbsp; Help spread the word and show others what\u2019s possible when we work with nature, rather than against it.
