Greystone goes carbonzero Greystone Wines is now ToituEnvirocare net carbonzero certified as part of the winery’s bold plans to reduce its environmental impact. Marketing manager Nik Mavromatis says the certificationispart of Greystone’s innovativeand holistic approach to wine growing and making. ‘‘We’re the first winery in the country to be net carbonzero, 100 percent certified organic with BioGro and practising regenerative viticulture,’’ Mr Mavromatis says. ‘‘It was alot of work to get to the point of being carbonzero but wine is the canary in the mine for climatechange so we need to try everything we can. ‘‘If we don’t then we probably only have twentyyearsleft of making wine on this planet,’’ To achieve Toitu certification, Greystone had to create an emissioninventoryacross the entire company,including travel,how much diesel and petrolthey use and measures to counterthat. Greystone company cars are now hybrid, its new Fendt tractors are 50% more fuelefficient and only carbonzero electricity is used in the strawbale winery. Even the glassbottleshave been switched to lighterweightoptionsacross the production. Greystone viticulturist Mike Saunders says the company has embraced regenerative viticulture, which involves looking at every inch of the farm and vineyard to increase diversity whileaiming for amore balanced ecosystem. ‘‘It’sapracticethat requires fewer manufacturedinputs,working with nature, ratherthan against it,’’ Mr Saunderssays. Mr Saunderssays acover cropping programme is helping buildorganicsoil matterand reducing the company’s environmental impact. ‘‘We've planted amix of 16 species, including sunflowers,oats, lentils and beans in between the rows of vines. Environmentally friendly ... Greystone viticulturist Mike Saunders receives the certification from Toitu Envirocare technical account manager Shannon Gormley. PHOTO:SUPPLIED ‘‘By retaininglivingcover crop rootswe can sequester, transfer and store carbon between plantand soil,’’ he says. Plantsthat fix nitrogen levels are among those planted, creating anatural fertiliser, while irrigation usage is being decreased by maintaining ground cover. Mr Saunderssays anotheraspect of the move to regenerative viticultureisthe total integration of livestockinto the vineyard. The teamretrainedatrial block to a highwire system where sheepcan now be run in the vineyard everyday of the year. ‘‘We driveour tractors through these vineyard rowsnearly 30 timesayear that’s 200km every time,’’ Mr Saunders says. ‘‘Integrating sheep can reducethis by 50%, significantly reducing our use of tractors, cuttingdown compaction, reducing diesel use and improvingnutrient cycling. We even havePekinducks living onsite to eat the grassgrubs.’’ Greystone’s entire 50hectarevineyard, located in the North Canterbury wine region, is certified organic withBioGro New Zealand. NEWS North Canterbury News, June 16, 2022 37 Beef +Lamb slams policy Beef +Lamb NewZealand (BLNZ) has calledthe Government’s releaseofthe Indigenous Biodiversity NationalPolicy Statement(NPS)exposure draft legislationbadly timedand illconsidered. BLNZ is ‘‘extremelydisappointed’’with thetiming of the release, just oneday after amajorannouncement on the pricingof agricultural greenhousegas emissions. BLNZ chief executiveSam McIvorsays farmersare feelingoverwhelmed withthe environmentrelated policychangesthat have already cometheirway. Theseare on topoflabourshortages, high onfarm inflationand managing Covid19. ‘‘Work is still under way on getting the freshwater and climatechange policies right,let alone fully implemented,soit’s frustratingthe Government is putting out yetmore environmentlegislation. ‘‘Ourfarmers arepassionate about biodiversity and areactively protecting andrestoring the indigenoushabitats they have on their farms, but they had major concerns withthe originalIndigenous Biodiversity NPS. ‘‘This was particularlyinrelation to the broad definition of aSignificant Natural Area,which wouldhave restricted agriculturalactivitiesonasignificant proportionoftheir farms.’’ Mr McIvorsays BLNZhas beencalling forsignificantchanges on key provisions from theoutset. ‘‘We expect genuine consultation and that we willbeabletoresolve all theissues ourfarmershave identified. ‘‘Farmers are playing theirpartand indeedare leaders in the protectionof biodiversity. Sheep and beef farmersare thelargestcustodiansofindigenous biodiversity in New Zealandafter the conservation estate, andtheyactively managenative vegetation on thousandsof farms acrossNew Zealand. ‘‘On average, about25percentofsheep andbeef farms are covered in native Sam McIvor vegetationand ourfarmersare very proud of this. ‘‘These regulations need to be enabling forfarmers to carry on thatwork,while not restricting farming.’’ MeanwhileFederated Farmers has endorsed the goalofimproving New Zealand’s biodiversity management, includingmaintenance,and where needed, protection of biodiversity values. ChrisAllen, the Feds national board membersays muchofNew Zealand’s biodiversity remains becauselandowners have done the right thing, and secondgenerationplanning processesacross the country are eitheralready embedded or startingtobecome so. ‘‘TheNPSIB needstobuild on and support thisimpetus, not derail it.’’ Both BLNZ and FedFarmersare criticalofthe six weekconsulation period, saying it is inadequategiven how complex this policy areais. ‘‘At thevery leastthisperiod needs to be extendedtogiveusadequate time to analyse what’s proposed andfor farmers to have sufficientinpu,’’ BLNZ says.
