Fonterra’s $3.845 billion windfall sale proceeds should be used to remediate damage they’ve done to rivers, and to help farmers shift away from intensive dairy to more plant-based regenerative organic farming — not more irrigation schemes and intensification.

Did you know methane emissions from Fonterra and the global livestock industry are 80 times more potent than CO2?
It's time to take action. Let's pressure world leaders to regulate these industries and stop their destructive practices and growth.

Climate pollution from intensive livestock farming is cooking the climate - meat and dairy giants like Fonterra are some of the biggest climate polluters!
It's time to hold the intensive livestock industry accountable, and transition to a just food system that’s far better for people, the animals and the planet.

To the butter price discourse and how Fonterra and the government say there is no choice but paying international prices for locally made products...
I just want everyone to remember that the dairy industry (NZ's biggest polluter!) is the only one exempt from the Emissions Trading Scheme. (Ineffective and flawed as it is, but that's a different discussion)
We're literally giving them a massive discount (and have been for decades, allowing endless pollution and ecosystem degradation for free) but they couldn't possibly make a bit less profit in return.
My pitchfork is sharp already. 🍴
Here we go again.
Polluting industries cry their crocodile tears about "vandalism" when a statue gets cartoon dead eyes, or a bottom trawler gets a bit of paint in its hull.
But who is the real vandal?
I think it's whoever is making water undrinkable, destroying entire ecosystems and burning our collective futures for their immediate private profit.
