    “We want to be able to provide pristine wai for Tairawhiti. We need a science-based plan to determine what our catchment needs to prepare for in the next 100 years ”

    Tam Jex-Blake

    Chair, Te Arai Community Catchment Group

    “Taking care of our emissions is our own responsibility, no-one else’s, we are not outsourcing our emissions, rather we are recognising and incentivising our farmers for their efforts.”

    Dan Boulton

    CEO, Silver Fern Farms

    “Future climate will drive major shifts in land use but the impacts won’t be distributed equally. The level of adaptation needed will depend on location, land use, and exposure.”
