Backing farmers with a&nbsp; billion dollar regenerative farming fund is a crucial part of this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Toop says unlike mainstream farming in New Zealand, regenerative agriculture is all about diversity instead of monocultures, building soil health instead of degrading it, and using natural systems instead of costly and harmful inputs like chemical fertilisers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>It draws heavily on indigenous knowledge and some common techniques include agroforestry, cover cropping and conservation tillage.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cWe know that regenerative agriculture has a whole host of benefits, like more productive and resilient farms that clean up waterways, lock carbon into the soil and nourish whole ecosystems,\u201d says Toop.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cWith Government investment we can speed up the shift to regenerative farming\u2014from building the necessary infrastructure, like new plant-based food factories and compost plants, to providing grant funding for farmers to take up regenerative techniques like agroforestry.\u201c<\/p>\n\n<p>Greenpeace&#8217;s plan cites the millions of dollars spent by Governments of the past on intensive agriculture, including subsidies to increase agri-chemical use and stocking rates, drain wetlands and convert forest into pasture.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Previous Governments also used the public purse to fund multi-million dollar infrastructure projects like the synthetic fertiliser factory in Taranaki and several irrigation schemes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cWhile there are some Kiwi farmers using regenerative agriculture methods already, for too long the Government\u2019s focus has been on supporting industrial monoculture farming. It\u2019s time for public money to start going to the public good instead,\u201d Toop says.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThis is our chance to jumpstart a transition to regenerative farming that will reap rewards for generations to come.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>ENDS<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thursday, 7 May: Ahead of the Government\u2019s post-Covid Budget announcements on May 14th,
