She led Greenpeace Aotearoa\u2019s campaigns against deep sea oil exploration and for solarising New Zealand. She is now leading the team that is working to transform the agriculture system away from intensive dairy farming that is polluting the climate and decimating biodiversity towards ecological farming that works in harmony with people and nature.
