Event details
Regenerative agriculture practices in New Zealand hold immense promise as the country seeks sustainable and environmentally friendly approaches to farming. With a growing awareness of the ecological impact of traditional farming methods, there is a notable shift towards regenerative practices that prioritize soil health, biodiversity, and carbon sequestration.
New Zealand's unique landscapes provide an ideal canvas for implementing regenerative techniques such as rotational grazing, cover cropping, and biocontrol release. These practices enhance the resilience of the agricultural ecosystem and contribute to mitigating climate change by sequestering carbon in the soil. Continuing the journey of regenerative agriculture in New Zealand will likely help to further improve water quality, reduced reliance on synthetic inputs, and increase farm profitability in the long run.
As consumers increasingly prioritize sustainable and ethically produced food, the future of regenerative agriculture in New Zealand appears to be a key driver in shaping a more environmentally conscious and resilient agricultural sector. McCain firmly believes that the increasingly unpredictable climate, the shift towards smart and sustainable farming practices and the use of renewable energy on their farms are vital. Their Regenerative Agriculture Framework has been developed to support best practices based around six key principles. McCain is committed to drive Regen Ag practices on farm, invest in three McCain Foods-owned and operated Farms of the Future to advance sustainable farming practices, and connect with knowledge partners to collectively find sustainable solutions.
