Dr Jacqueline Rowarth:
One of New Zealand's leading farming academics, and the voice of reason, said if we treated food as a global resource, the GHG associated could be allocated against people fed, rather than the number of people in the country producing that food.

Michael Harvey:
We spoke to the Melbourne-based Rabobank dairy analyst and author of the just released report, Dairy Export Boon Beckons in Asean-6 - With a Push or a Pull.
