The Primary Sector Council announced their aspirational vision in December 2019 entitled 'Fit for a Better World'.
Sarah's Country's debut episode focuses on the key elements of this vision for New Zealand including a swing towards regenerative agriculture, capturing the value of the billion dollar plant protein trend and offsetting our carbon emissions with environmental integrity (not 'thin air fake' credits).
Sarah also speaks to trade commentator, Stephen Jacobi, about the fears around the details of the 'truce' between US-China in January and to National Spokesman for Agriculture, Todd Muller, about views that National is a goner in rural areas leading into the 2020 election.
