New environmental strategy launched by Beef + Lamb New Zealand
According to B+LNZ, this Environment Strategy lays out a progressive long-term vision for the sector based around four priority areas – healthy productive soils, thriving biodiversity, reducing carbon emissions and cleaner water.
B+LNZ has identified two key goals in its new strategy – every sheep and beef farm having a tailored and active environment plan by the end of 2021, and the sheep and beef sector as a whole moving towards carbon neutrality by 2050.
Over the next three years, B+LNZ said it will roll out a range of environmental initiatives to support sheep and beef farmers.
This includes establishing a Collaborative Catchment Communities programme to help communities work together to target water quality, greenhouse gas emissions, biodiversity, and soil health issues.
The organisation will also invest in developing a new generation farm plan that encapsulates these four priorities, develop new tools and technology, provide support and advice and undertake research.
