New farming regulations in New Zealand aim to protect a wetland but may force many farmers out.
Waikato Regional Council's Plan Change 1 proposes stricter regulations on farming in the Whangamarino Wetland catchment, requiring farmers to obtain Restricted Discretionary Consents and develop environment plans.
While aimed at improving water quality, the rules could raise food costs, lead to job losses, and fail to address invasive Koi Carp.
Research suggests up to 68% of sheep and beef farmers might leave the sector if the rules are implemented.
