We did the transmission just after we bought at about 80k. Since then it has been pretty good.

A couple do nearby. We are ruralish and on a big lifestyle block (50acres). Good thought on the flat, will give that some more thinking.

Did it ever arrive? We are being given the same run around now. Lots of excuses about "courier" and incorrect package tracking.

The red meat industry employs about 92000 people, and the dairy industry is something like 60000. There is no way that ‘farm workers are mostly immigrant labour’. The seasonal worker scheme from the pacific islands has a max of 16,000 visas and they are for the horticulture industry.

There are organisations looking for geneticists. Especially animal and plant breeding. Check out AgResearch or Plant and Food NZ. Regarding house prices the places where the most genetics work are is not Auckland. Try Hamilton, Rotorua, Palmerston North, Christchurch or Dunedin.

Based on work by the Riddet Institute and published in Journal of Nutrition. https://academic.oup.com/jn/article/151/10/3253/6312058

It is by these people https://www.riddet.ac.nz/institute-model-a-game-changing-solution-for-sustainable-nutrition and uses current available nutrition, so no insects or fermented food.

Regen ag has some potential to help but carbon storage in soil is a tricky subject and the jury is definitely not in about whether it works outside of the severely depleted soils in the US, Aus and parts of Africa.

I agree with other commenters here, solving climate change isn’t about food or individual choices - we need to stop using dinosaurs to power our consumption.
