Today on The Country radio show, host Jamie Mackay catches up with Professor Alan Renwick, of Lincoln University, to learn more about his report, The Future Use of Land and How to Fund It.

On with the show:

Damien O’Connor:

We find Labour’s trade spokesman at the E Tipu conference in Palmerston North, but is it a woke talk fest?

We also preview tomorrow’s “Love in” with Federated Farmers in Masterton, but is it a waste of time?

Plus, is he in favour of Fonterra selling its Consumer Brands?

And what about more conversions in Canterbury?

Professor Alan Renwick:

A new report from ASB and Lincoln University, launched at E Tipu today, shows that Kiwi farmers could unlock $10 billion in additional value for the economy by optimising land use by just 10% – and the transformation could happen within the next 5–7 years.

Mark Leslie:

But isn’t the government placing limits on how much Class 6 land can go into trees?
