The Dairying and Clean Streams Accord is an agreement signed in 2003 in New Zealand between Fonterra, Ministry for the Environment, Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and regional councils. The Accord was prompted by the high profile "dirty dairying" campaign by Fish and Game New Zealand which highlighted water pollution of lakes, rivers and streams due to the intensification of dairy farming in parts of New Zealand. ==Purpose== The stated purpose of the accord is to provide "a statement of intent and framework for actions to promote sustainable dairy farming in New Zealand. It focuses on reducing the impacts of dairying on the quality of New Zealand streams, rivers, lakes, ground water and wetlands." The goal is to ensure that water is suitable for fish, drinking by stock and swimming (in designated areas). Politically the accord was intended to prevent further regulation of the dairy industry following Fish and Game New Zealand’s dirty dairying campaign begun in 2003. The performance targets are:〔 *Dairy cattle excluded from 50% of streams, rivers and lakes by 2007, 90% by 2012 *50% of regular crossing points have bridges or culverts by 2007, 90% by 2012 *100% of farm dairy effluent discharges to comply with resource consents and regional plans immediately *100% of dairy farms to have in place systems to manage nutrient inputs and outputs by 2007 *50% of regionally significant wetlands to be fenced by 2005, 90% by 2007 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dairying and Clean Streams Accord」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
