A win-win for farmers and environmentalists
A win-win for farmers and environmentalists
8 June 2022
A Primary Sector Climate Action Partnership says it's found a fair way to ensure farmers are charged for their emissions.
It's recommending a system where farmers will calculate and pay for their own emissions by 2025.
Group chair Michael Ahie says although this plan will hit farmers' back pockets, it's a fair way forward.
He says he's confident this is the best option to help farmers and growers transition to lower-emissions food production while maintaining viable businesses.
