- Regulate agriculture production in Aotearoa New Zealand to significantly reduce livestock numbers, reduce the proportion of land users for livestock and phase out synthetic nitrogen fertilisers.
- Ensure that Aotearoa New Zealand honours its commitment to the International Methane Pledge.
- Ensure that planted forestry is for the purpose of carbon offsetting and will provide multiple benefits and services.
- Strongly support mandatory country of origin labelling for all single-ingredient imported agricultural products.
- Committed to keeping the Aotearoa/New Zealand environment free of GE organisms.
- Encourage efficient rural use of energy, especially oil (particularly for soil cultivation, irrigation, and inputs such as synthetic fertilisers, herbicides and pesticides), to reduce current energy dependence.
- Support farmers to regenerate their land and natural ecosystems to sequester more carbon dioxide than the total CO2 equivalent on-farm emission released.
