Animal Justice Party on Economy

Shift economy from animal farming to plant-based production

This party wants New Zealand to move away from farming animals and toward growing plant-based food instead. They want to help farmers make that change. They also want to end practices they see as cruel, like live animal export and intensive winter grazing, and support industries that do not rely on animals, including fashion and product testing.

What they say they'll do

Support farmers to transition from animal farming to growing plant-based produce
Transition New Zealand toward a plant-based economy
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions through this economic transition
End live animal export
Ban intensive winter grazing practices
Move fashion and product-testing industries away from animal use

Who this affects

Farmers

The party says it wants to support farmers to shift from raising animals to growing plant-based produce, which would change how their farms operate.

Agricultural sector

A move to a plant-based economy would mean significant changes to the types of food and goods produced in New Zealand's farming industry.

Fashion industry businesses

The party wants fashion production to move away from using animals, which would affect how some clothing and textile businesses source their materials.

In their own words

“Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by transitioning to a plant-based economy and supporting farmers to grow produce instead of farming animals”

“Compassionate, Non-Violent, Sustainable.”

“The party advocates non-violence towards animals, sustainability, and a transition away from animal-based agriculture toward a plant-based economy.”
