How can NZ (and its farmers) capitalise?
- dislocation of local producer community and offshore customers creates a challenge to monetise
sustainability
- pasture base and sustainability will have to be sold as part of a package
- opening markets where sustainability is high on agenda will be valuable (UK, EU)
- defining terms, meeting them and being able to prove they have been met will be important to the
long term sustainability of any value derived
- staying in control of your ‘origin story’ is crucial
26
In the real world, origin stories can be re-written
