More than 100,000 expected at Fieldays as agricultural sector booms

Photo: RNZ / Monique Steele More than 100,000 people are expected through the gates of Fieldays, which kicks off on Wednesday at Mystery Creek. It is the Southern Hemisphere's largest agricultural event , and this year it has a record number of exhibitors. Taryn Storey, head of customer and strategic engagement, said it is looking like an exciting year with every blade of grass "locked and loaded" with things to do and see . Part of that excitement comes from the boom agriculture is experiencing at the moment with Prime Minister Christopher Luxon previously saying the sector is pulling the country out of a recession. New Zealand's dairy sector is booming, red meat exports are up, and farmers got a boost in the Budget, so they can deduct 20 percent off new farm equipment from their taxable income. "There is a real excited vibe this year," Storey said. "The weather at the moment is looking like true Fieldays weather with a bit of rain forecast but it wouldn't be Fieldays without a little bit of drizzle to contend with." Storey said the key to attending Fieldays is layers. Despite the rain she said Mystery Creek has a bit of a microclimate so could experience four seasons in one day. "Leave the gumboots at home, you don't need them, but bring sturdy foot wear. "It's all sealed roads, so just good walking shoes." This year featured a sector spotlight on the wool industry with a number of exhibits on everything wool from up and coming innovations to the end product. Storey said a highlight of the event will be the new agricultural drone zone showcasing the large drones in the fields and how they work. The three day event will also see a number of different politicians in attendance including Prime Minister Christopher Luxon and Labour Party leader Chris Hipkins.

National Fieldays Society unveils Scope 3 emissions in transparency push
Scope 3 emissions often constitute the largest portion of a company's carbon footprint, typically surpassing its direct emissions (Scope 1 and 2). Following this evaluation, it is unsurprising that the society's carbon footprint has shown an increase. Taryn Storey, acting chief executive of the society, said commissioning the report reflected the organisation's commitment to transparency, innovation, collaboration and environmental responsibility. 'By addressing indirect emissions, we're educating others and inspiring industry-wide change,' Storey said. 'Taking proactive action - well before it becomes mandatory - is a key part of our long-term strategy, demonstrating our leadership and values.' Janine Monk, sustainability executive at the society, said, 'I'm incredibly proud to work for an organisation that has been tracking its carbon emissions since 2012, long before it was common practice. Now, with Scope 3 emissions still optional to report, we've taken a bold step to be fully transparent.' The Climate-Related Disclosures (CRD) regime requires certain entities, such as insurers and publicly listed companies, to report their climate impacts and risks, including Scope 3 emissions, to ensure climate considerations are embedded in business and investment decisions. A Scope 3 emissions report includes both mandatory emissions - those that can be reasonably measured, such as employee travel and freight - and more complex emissions, such as those from purchased goods and services from suppliers, which are harder to quantify and reduce. Calculating these emissions can be a complex and time-consuming process, often requiring the assessment of thousands of sources. To address this challenge, the society categorises expenses into broad groups, such as marketing, each carrying an emissions profile set by the New Zealand government.
