New Zealand has incredible global recognition for grass-fed livestock.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
New Zealand is a country of thirty thousand million sheep, three million of whom think they are human.
Part of my plan was not only to introduce all useful animals that I possibly could into this part of Australia, but also the most valuable plants of every description.
There's a real purity in New Zealand that doesn't exist in the states. It's actually not an easy thing to find in our world anymore. It's a unique place because it is so far away from the rest of the world. There is a sense of isolation and also being protected.
The industry is becoming very ready for animal identification.
Country of Origin labelling is something that consumers really want, and I think it's critical to support Australian farmers.
It's often hilarious to me that I'm writing about Tonga or some tropical place and there's a blizzard outside and the cows are on their backs with their hooves in the air.
New Zealand's food and beverage industry is the lynchpin of the country's prosperity. Which may explain why it has concentrated their governments' minds.
Beef should be organic and grass-fed; fish should be wild, not farm raised.
Cows are my passion. What I have ever sighed for has been to retreat to a Swiss farm, and live entirely surrounded by cows - and china.
New Zealand has a great reputation in America for golf.
