Polluted Inheritance: New Zealand's Freshwater Crisis

Evidence presented in this BWB Text by ecologist Mike Joy demonstrates that intensive dairy farming has degraded our freshwater rivers, streams and lakes to such a degree that we face an environmental crisis.

Description

New Zealand's dairy industry is big business. But what are the hidden and not so hidden costs of intensive farming?

Evidence presented here by ecologist Mike Joy demonstrates that intensive dairy farming has degraded our freshwater rivers, streams, and lakes to an alarming degree. This situation, he argues, has arisen primarily through governmental policy that prioritises short-term economic growth over long-term environmental sustainability.

Polluted Inheritance: New Zealand's Freshwater Crisis is a call to arms, urging New Zealand to change course or risk the wellbeing of future generations.
