Agriculture hui: What's the rural sector's role in tackling climate change?
Overview
We are currently developing advice for the Government about tackling climate change over the coming decades.
Our role is to provide independent, impartial advice to the Government about choices they can make – and the pros and cons of different options.
We want to hear from farmers, growers and people in rural communities to help us develop this advice. You are an important part of our process and we want to hear your thoughts.
