On today's REX Daily Podcast, Dom talks with Southland farmer, councillor and Ag Proud NZ co-founder Jon Pemberton about his Nuffield Scholarship report, 'Reputation vs Reality: Searching for our North Star'. They discuss whether NZ's farming identity and reputation has decoupled from the evidence, what he proposes can be done and which global examples he's identified to back up his findings... And he talks with Agrecovery Chief Executive Tony WIlson about the confirmation of regulations for the Rural Recycling Scheme to be out in place, what it means for farmers and growers looking to get rid of plastic form their farms and when the changes will take effect.
