Jamie Mackay: The Country host on Beef + Lamb New Zealand calling for the staged implementation of an agricultural emissions framework - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Beef + Lamb New Zealand are calling for the staged implementation of an agricultural emissions framework.

The organisation's new Board Chair, Kate Acland aims to establish robust emissions measuring, with a price on emissions not introduced until outstanding issues are resolved.

The Country's Jamie Mackay says Beef + Lamb are concerned about the disproportionate impact on their sector and its ongoing viability.

Jamie Mackay says there's a need to establish a robust on-farm system for calculating emissions while fairly recognising the carbon sequestering vegetation on farms.
