This July, Venture Taranaki will host their third
Branching Out event to explore trees and their value chain.
Wood and fibre products are of increasing value and interest
worldwide, and are a worthy consideration for further
investigation in Taranaki.
At the event, on Wednesday,
28 July, at the War Memorial Centre in Stratford, attendees
will hear from experts how trees are currently utilised in
Taranaki, the economic opportunities, an overview of carbon
farming and the Emission Trading Schemes, and projected
future tree and fibre products. Topics will also cover
trees’ biodiversity contributions, and the options for
trees to be a complementary addition to existing land-uses

“Farmers have been under increasing pressure for some time now to manage their environmental footprint, and those pressures are not only driven by Government regulation but by customers and consumer expectations, but also a drive from farmers themselves,” said DairyNZ chief executive Dr Tim Mackle.

Government and industry are investing $22 million to expand a plantain research programme. ”We are committed to reducing our environmental footprint, now and in the long run. If we are going to be successful in rising to this challenge, we have got to continue to invest in tools for farmers that help us to reduce our footprint while remaining profitable and viable,” Mackle said.
