Animal Justice Party on Climate

Cut emissions by shifting farming from animals to plants

The Animal Justice Party says New Zealand should reduce greenhouse gas emissions by moving away from animal farming and toward a plant-based economy. They want to support farmers to grow plant-based food instead of raising animals. They also oppose intensive winter grazing, saying it harms both animals and the environment.

What they say they'll do

  • Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by transitioning to a plant-based economy
  • Support farmers to grow plant-based produce instead of farming animals
  • Oppose intensive winter grazing ('mud farming') on environmental and animal welfare grounds

Who this affects
