  • China's Sustainability Mindset
    2025/09/18

    086 | It was a busy week in the news! with a full 360 on agriculture in the high school curriculum - it was out then back in again on the back of some serious public black lash. Dairy NZ have been working in NZ and Ireland to test the standard GHG emissions calculators and found methane emissions could be up to 20% overestimated, we chat about Pamu's annoucement of an equity partnership in the sheep and beef space, and movement restrictions in Central Otago in an attempt to halt the transitimission of bovine TB.


    We then dove deep into the evolving consumer mindset in China regarding food safety and sustainability.


    And finally, the annocucement from the government to co`-fund solar farms in NZ

  • Light at the end of the Tunnel
    2025/09/04

    084 | Light at the end of the Tunnel. It's been radio silence from Myfanwy for the past month as she has worked her way through calving 1400 cows with just under 300 to go. She is just starting to come up for air now. The ladies catch up on all of life's adventures since July, all the big moooves in Dairy over the past month and dive into global meat consumption trends over the next ten years. They are joined by a special guest for this week's partner slot to tell us all about an exciting new opportunity. This week's recommendations are light and fun, although Myfi would like it known she is not team Conrad, Jerr or Belly, she is team, this should have finished in season 2!
