Kite Consulting Milk Market Update & Permitting, Planting Trees & Carbon Credits

The podcast team take a virtual trip to New Zealand where hosts Ben Eagle & Will Evans are joined by Phil Journeaux, an agricultural consultant and economist with AgFirst & John Allen, Kite’s Managing Partner. With NZ farmers now required to record & report on their environmental impact and NZ agricultural output limited or retracting, they discuss what the future of UK agriculture might look like including some appealing commercial financial returns for non-food producing activities such as tree planting and the development of carbon markets. Despite our best efforts to leave him at home, Chris Walkland joins us on the tour, not only to enlighten us with his dairy knowledge but to act as our NZ tour guide.
