models for their efforts to combat water pollution and climate change by farming in a new way.<\/p>\n<p>Not long after Greenpeace launched a short film called \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OKMM2b6srIg\">The Regenerators<\/a>\u201d featuring some of the leading regenerative farmers in New Zealand the UN\u2019s Food and Agriculture Organisation approached the environmental advocacy group wanting to showcase the farmers.<\/p>\n<lite-youtube style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/OKMM2b6srIg\/hqdefault.jpg');\" videoid=\"OKMM2b6srIg\" params=\"rel=0\"><\/lite-youtube>\n<p>The United Nations has just published a report based on the short film, and Greenpeace\u2019s video has now been viewed nearly 100,000 times.<\/p>\n<p>Greenpeace\u2019s agriculture campaigner Gen Toop says they are \u201cch\uffed\u201d that New Zealand\u2019s regenerative farmers are getting the recognition they deserve.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe farmers that star in our film, have gone much further than just fencing off the odd stream and planting some riverbanks, they\u2019re farming in a fundamentally different way and we believe their model is the future of agriculture,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe way they farm is literally regenerating the ecological value of the land instead of stripping it away like industrial farming commonly does\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s great to see the ground-breaking work these Kiwi farmers are doing is being recognised internationally by the United Nations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Regenerative farming is a way of farming which prioritises growing diversity and healthy soil and essentially works with nature and ecology not against it.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the techniques include; diversifying pastures, crops and animals, reducing costly and environmentally damaging inputs like chemical fertilisers and lowering stocking rates.<\/p>\n<p>The farmers in Greenpeace\u2019s video and on the UN profile are running profitable farms and report, more importantly, that they have a great quality of life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndustrial agriculture particularly industrial livestock farming, is one of the world\u2019s biggest polluters.\u00a0 But regenerative farmers are turning farming itself into the solution for clean rivers and a safe climate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith public concern over water pollution and climate change at an all time high, intensive dairying\u2019s social license is all but lost.\u00a0 We believe that regenerative farming is really the only option for New Zealand agriculture going forward\u201d says Toop.<\/p>\n<p>Despite global momentum behind this new model of agriculture, relatively little is known about it here in New Zealand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe former Government and the farming leadership have ignored regenerative farming.\u00a0 Instead they\u2019ve incentivized and supported intensive agriculture, which has polluted our rivers and caused huge public upset.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter the video was launched we had farmers contact us seeking help to transition their farms from conventional to regenerative.\u00a0 The fact that farmers are having to come to Greenpeace for help makes it pretty clear that they aren\u2019t getting what they need from their leadership\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFonterra has been too busy spending megabucks on flashy ad campaigns trying to convince us all that everything is fine with the dirty intensive dairying model.\u201d \u201cWe hope now that regenerative farming in New Zealand has received this kind of international attention, that the farming leadership and the new Government will start getting in behind it\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ENDS<\/p>\n<p>More information:<\/p>\n<p>The report is currently featured on the FAO
