Scope for trouble

Scope for trouble

OPINION: It's interesting to note that Dutch co-operative Arla Foods is paying its farmers billions for reducing their scope three emissions (that's greenhouse gas emissions generated behind the farmgate).

Fonterra farmers are waiting with bated breath on the co-op's plans to tackle scope three emissions in New Zealand.

With milk prices falling and farmers under financial pressure, Fonterra farmers are in no mood for extra costs or new requirements.

That's the dilemma facing the Fonterra board and management, and that may explain the delay in the co-operative coming out publicly with its scope three targets for farmer shareholders.

OPINION: To a chorus of crying greenies, and not a minute too soon, the Government has moved to put the courts back in their place through proposed amendments to the Climate Change Response Act 2002, intending to limit climate litigation claims such as Smith v Fonterra, in the interests of providing greater certainty for vital industry.
