Show Notes
Fonterra and Swiss food giant Nestle have formed a partnership to develop New Zealand’s first zero carbon emissions dairy farm.
In what the parties said was a New Zealand first, the project, to be run with co-partner Dairy Trust Taranaki, will examine all aspects of farm operations to reduce carbon with the aim of cutting emissions by 30 per cent by mid-2027, with a 10-year ambition of reaching net zero carbon emissions.
The demonstration farm at the centre of the project is a 290-hectare property surrounding Fonterra’s Whareroa site.
Dairy Trust Taranaki will work with Fonterra and industry partners to reduce total emissions on the farm, including methane.
