It is a de-ja-vu kind of thing because the human capability challenge is high on the agenda for Australia. And again, interest in NZ's approach, particularly with a pan industry collaboration, catches alot of attention and clearly there is strong interest in the approach. It motivates me to work harder at making it work in NZ and to look for sucess overseas for us to learn from.
An interesting concept surfaced today around farmers having a 'social licence' to produce food. I have to reflect on it a bt more but it alludes to the right confered onto farmers by society to produce food. It begs the question 'if farmers were not allowed by society to grow food, what would people eat'....which is cleary a ridiculious notion. It does however highlght the responsibility farmers have to produce food by best practice, as efficiently and ethically as possible. I wonder if community reaction to some of the news articles about farming are a challenge to that social licence we readily assume is present.
