Great for NZ economically. Ambivalent for everyday Kiwis and I suspect detrimental long term to our already abused whenua. Seeing great swathes of South Canterbury etc being force fed fertiliser to grow grass to grow cows to make milk to export just doesn't seem like the 'right' thing to be doing. And this agreement just makes that econmically more viable for the dairy cartel.
My 2c at least :/
I know a lot of people very dislike GMOs but I think if we used them properly we could really reduce the need for water and fertilizer in the dairy and beef industries. Which would be good because we live in a capitalist world regardless if we want to or not.
