New Rabobank NZ Industry White paper: Steering into the food transition - Rethinking the climate change challenge for New Zealand food and agribusiness

Wednesday 31st August 2022

At last month’s Primary Industries New Zealand (PINZ) Summit in Auckland, our CEO Todd Charteris presented to conference delegates on the challenges facing the agricultural sector and the bold actions required by New Zealand’s agricultural industry to take advantage of global food transition.

Following on from this, the bank has now published a new industry white paper which expands on the information covered in Todd’s presentation.

Please find attached a copy of this new paper which is titled - Steering into the food transition - Rethinking the climate change challenge for New Zealand food and agribusiness.

As New Zealand’s only specialist food and agribusiness bank, Rabobank has developed the paper as it believes it has an important role to play in both raising awareness of key issues around sustainable food production, and in supporting its rural and wholesale clients to transition towards more sustainable farming practices.

With so much information flying around about climate change, the paper seeks to cut through the noise to help understand the opportunities within the challenges, especially for farmers and growers on the frontline of the food and agri sector who may be wrestling with the changes required. The paper also identifies a number of key actions to help guide New Zealand’s food and agri industry on the pathway forward.
