It&#8217;s the chemical is used by the dairy industry, to accelerate grass growth which leads to increased cow numbers. More cows means more methane and nitrous oxide emissions. Both are powerful greenhouse gases.<\/p>\n\n<p>Since 1990, synthetic fertiliser use has climbed 672% and in that time the number of dairy cows has nearly doubled, causing greenhouse gas emissions from intensive dairying to skyrocket.<\/p>\n\n<p>Climate pollution from the synthetic fertiliser itself has increased a whopping 512% since 1990, while methane emissions from the bloated dairy herd have increased by 129% in the same time.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large  caption-style-blue-overlay caption-alignment-center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2018\/12\/d90cd49a-nz-dairy-cows-1024x576.jpg\" title=\"Dairy cows\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4813\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2018\/12\/d90cd49a-nz-dairy-cows-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2018\/12\/d90cd49a-nz-dairy-cows-600x337.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2018\/12\/d90cd49a-nz-dairy-cows-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2018\/12\/d90cd49a-nz-dairy-cows-510x287.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2018\/12\/d90cd49a-nz-dairy-cows.jpg 1418w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Dairying is NZ&#8217;s biggest user of synthetic nitrogen fertiliser by far.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>This has to change.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>We\u2019ve just recently had yet another taste of what a climate crisis is bringing. In less than a day, a month&#8217;s worth of rain hammered Northland. It damaged roads, homes, businesses and farms and threatened lives. And it came after months of crippling drought.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>It\u2019s looking even worse overseas, with around 20 million people being displaced every year already due to climate change related disasters. Wildfires have been ravaging Australia, the Amazon, and even the Arctic in the past year.<\/p>\n\n<p>We are in a climate crisis that threatens life as we know it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>We are also in an election year.<\/p>\n\n<p>Political parties serious about protecting people, particularly those already vulnerable and marginalised, from a worsening climate crisis need to announce tangible policy commitments that would cut emissions.<\/p>\n\n<p>Any political party worth their weight on climate, would commit to phase-out synthetic fertiliser, reduce cow numbers and back farmers to make the shift away from industrial dairying to regenerative farming.<\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/campaign\/regenerative-farming-revolution\/\">Regenerative farming<\/a> is all about diversity instead of monocultures. It&#8217;s about building soil health instead of degrading it, and using natural systems instead of costly and harmful synthetic fertiliser.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>There are many farmers who have already taken the regenerative path and dropped synthetic fertiliser completely.
