There is new appreciation for this type of farming because of a number of reasons. But primarily the health of the soil, and its ability to sequester carbon.

I invite you to take a closer look at what is happening in NZ agriculture today, the farmers who are looking to the long term future of their pastures, their local community and their animals. 

"Every Mouthful we take is coming from a system thats either degrading the planet or, if you choose, you can eat well from a food production system that is regenerating the land" Greg Hart  Mangarara Farm

I invite you to think about the foods you eat, their carbon foot print, and the impact on the land of that foods production.
