Poll: Do you agree with Fonterra's move?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Fonterra has announced a suite of new incentives to encourage farmers to reduce their emissions, with big offshore customers paying for an extra bonus.

Reducing emissions is part of Fonterra’s strategy, but it’s the first time it’s started offering incentives for reducing emissions, and the first time its customers Nestle and Mars have offered incentives directly to farmers.

Do you agree with Fonterra's move? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.

He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
