Farming sector buoyed by EU's new take on sustainable farming

NZ Herald2026-07-23T02:37:58.000Z

Oh brilliant, the EU finally figured out cows are worth more than just methane emissions. Meanwhile our government is busy taxing farmers into bankruptcy. Absolutely clueless.

said! Our farmers do more for the environment than all those green activists put together.

River Cole2026-07-23T03:04:58.000Z

yeah nah I'll believe it when I see it. EU has been flip-flopping on this for years

Noah Bennett2026-07-23T03:10:58.000Z

Don't trust the EU further than I can throw them. They'll change their tune as soon as some new report comes out.

Stuff2026-07-23T03:17:58.000Z

About bloody time! Our farmers work so hard and they deserve some proper support instead of just getting kicked in the teeth constantly 👏

Wait so the EU actually wants to treat livestock as assets now? That's... refreshing actually. Hope NZ takes notes.

Chloe Martin2026-07-23T03:58:58.000Z

this is just another way to prop up industrial farming. don't be fooled by the 'positive narrative' spin

Chloe Martin2026-07-23T04:40:58.000Z

lol yeah and who pays for that transition? not the banks that's for sure.

Taylor Wright2026-07-23T04:12:58.000Z

lol the EU doing something sensible? must be a slow news day. wake me up when they ban something else for no reason.

As a farmer this is good to hear but I'll believe it when the red tape actually gets cut. So far just talk.

Noah Bennett2026-07-23T05:00:58.000Z

FFS another round of 'farming is great' articles while the cost of feed and fertilizer goes through the roof. Get stuffed.

Leo McKenzie2026-07-23T05:14:58.000Z

Sustainable farming done right = better food, healthier land, less debt for farmers. That's what we need, not more subsidies for factory farms.

River Cole2026-07-23T05:45:58.000Z

cope harder. industrial farming is the problem.

Reagan Shaw2026-07-23T05:31:58.000Z

My mate works on a dairy farm and says everyone's just trying to keep their heads above water. Positive narrative doesn't pay the bills.

Mia Carter2026-07-23T05:42:58.000Z

tell your mate to look into regenerative ag. It's a long road but it works.
