I am biased here but this person is immensely talented with a great ability to get to the nub of the problem or opportunity and to guide strategic and tactical responses. She brings true diversity of thought and approach.
Some people are terrible!

Thanks to the brave men and women out there still running our farms, gardens, orchards - and to the pickers, drivers, processors and post harvest operators. linkedin.com/pulse/heres-her… via @LinkedIn
The problem with their analysis is that they ignore the short half life of methane. If I milk 100 cows today, and still milk 100 cows in 10 years time then I have contributed 0 to global warming from methane. Agri needs national GHG accounting! lnkd.in/gS5bm8v

From dairy farm to hop garden!

Hard not to like the enthusiasm here. I think there are challenges with the scope of green new deal initiatives but then NZ is far closer to the ideals than the US
Climate change is here + we’ve got a deadline: 12 years left to cut emissions in half.
A #GreenNewDeal is our plan for a world and a future worth fighting for.
How did we get here?
What is at stake?
And where are we going?
