Key differences

How the government proposal differs from He Waka Eke Noa:

The farmer voice in governance and price setting has been removed

Recognition and reward for planting on farms are significantly reduced

Pricing is only set with consideration for reaching targets

It collects more money than is necessary for reinvestment

Farmers have no ability to form collectives to report and reduce emissions

There is no decision on pricing fertiliser at the farm level

It introduces a processor-level backstop if implementation is delayed.
