About the B+LNZ Environment Reference Group (ERG)
The ERG is vital in helping test, co-develop, and advocate for farmer-focused, practical, and workable environmental policy solutions.
Each B+LNZ Farmer Council region has one ERG representative and nominates another levy-payer representative who may have particular interest or skills in environment policy and practices.
