The north and south story you shared the other day about farming and agricultural emissions really has me thinking - in particular there’s a line in it about the neo-colonial influence on prioritising methane reduction over carbon, cos it’s easier for western developed countries to reduce methane than it is carbon - and I can’t help but wonder if that influences this drive to plant based diets!
What a great selection of stories, Anna! Speaking as a 76 year old Pākehā male, who still likes to eat some meat, but a lot less of it, I take on board the idea that the future may become meat-free - or at least a lot freer. Above all, I am responding as a fan of - and modest donor to - The Spinoff, to say that your selection, from start to finish, confirms my hope that the future will also be indigenous- and female-led. Us white boys have a lot to rediscover and learn. Don Quick
