He Waka Eke Noa will put farmers out of business - Groundswell

From Morning Report, 6:16 am on 9 June 2022

The primary sector has released its plan to price its climate emissions, but not all farmers are happy.

The He Waka Eke Noa partnership behind the sector's alternative to joining the Emissions Trading Scheme includes industry groups such as DairyNZ and Federated Farmers.

But an organisation outside its umbrella, Groundswell, says the plan will put farmers out of business.

Groundswell emissions adviser Steve Cranston spoke to Corin Dann.
