About this episode
Dom discusses dairy trade, climate impact on GDP, and affordable housing solutions with expert guests.
On today's REX Daily Podcast, Dom talks with Stu Davison from HighGround Dairy about the latest Global Dairy Trade Event (-2.7%), the major factors that contributed to the result and what the impact of the Iran war is having on prices... He talks with Dr John Saunders from Lincoln University about new research which reveals how dairy’s contribution to GDP could fall by up to 32% by 2100 under severe climate scenarios, how feed costs could reach up to $4.7 billion annually by late century and how international trade dynamics could partially buffer impacts... And he talks with Rich Naish, founder of Living House, about its approach and solution for affordable housing, why it's targeting the rural sector and the decision to exhibit at Fieldays.
