A Change for New Zealand Farming | Catherine McCartin | TEDxMIT

Catherine McCartin, senior lecturer at Massey University and co-owner of a beef and sheep farm explains how New Zealand farming must change from animal based farming to plant based. New laws require the improvement fish water quality and a reduction in methane emissions from livestock. While the country is most efficient producing meat and milk it must adjust the ratio of animal based farming to plant based farming to meet the requirements made by these laws. The repurposing of New Zealand farm land from animal based to plant based will greatly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and make the landscape more habitable to aquatic wildlife as well as land based animals and birds. Senior lecturer at Massey University and co-owner of a beef and sheep farm. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
