Rewards, risks and making it happen. A view from the Farm Gate
Jamie Falloon, Wairarapa Sheep and Beef Farmer & Farm Forester
Presentation Preview
- Why do many farmers appear to not like trees and carbon forests in particular?
- What’s the difference to a farmer between indigenous and plantation forestry in a carbon sense?
- How can we take advantage of the opportunity to improve our farms and NZ’s resilience by using more trees and more forests?
- Why is the legislation so complicated and why is the game being changed all the time and what impact does this have on NZ meeting it obligations?
- How can we sell our carbon credits into long term deals?
These are some of the questions Jamie hopes to provide answers and perspective on – from a farmer with plenty of trees and an unhealthy understanding of the ETS, Zero carbon bill and other environmental regulation which will impact on carbon forestry on farms.
