Federated Farmers Push to Cut Costly Vet Drug Waste on Dairy Farms
Animal welfare improvements as well as reduced costs for dairy farmers are at the heart of a new move which could help cut back on the waste of unused vet drugs.
Since the start of December, heavyweights JP Morgan, Citigroup, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs have all exited the UN-backed banking alliance.
Federated Farmers says that these big US banks have seen that their involvement in the Net Zero Banking Alliance is about to come under huge scrutiny.
"They're leaving in droves because of lawsuits for anti-competitive behaviour within the banking sector and growing political pressure.
"Federated Farmers are now calling on our banks to do the same. They need to do the right thing and withdraw from the Net Zero Banking Alliance."
