B+LNZ is a national sponsor of the Ballance Farm Environment Trust Awards run by the NZ Farm Environment Trust, they champion sustainable farming and growing. We're not just sponsors of the awards though; we’re actively involved in the judging process too. Tom Orchiston, B+LNZ Environment Engagement Lead, took part in this year’s judging in the Otago region. He says it’s a great way to get involved, support farmers to learn from each other, and to help share our environmental farming success stories more broadly. “Being a judge for the Ballance Farm Environment Trust Awards requires a good understanding of farm systems and the environmental risks and opportunities,” says Tom. “As a judge, I meet some amazing farmers and their families and hear their stories. It’s truly inspiring to see the wonderful work that farmers are doing every day on their farms to be environmentally sustainable and productive.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/gh6VgAHg

This week the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment, Simon Upton, released a new report examining the drivers of forestry in New Zealand. B+LNZ welcomed the report, which draws on B+LNZ analysis of afforestation rates and is heartening recognition of our advocacy efforts since 2019 about whole-farm sales into carbon forestry as a result of policy settings. With a rush to purchase farms and convert before new rules come into effect later this year, we continue to watch this issue closely.
