Agriculture | Dairy NZ CEO and climate expert on what’s needed and expected from Emission Reduction Plan

The agriculture sector is looking for support in today's Emission Reduction Plan.

Dairy NZ Chief Executive Tim Mackle told Mike Hosking a lot of technology is being created to make farming greener.

“Unsurprisingly, a lot of the candidates we’ve been working on, we’ve just got to move faster on them. I’m an optimist on this, I think we can do it.”

Meanwhile, Victoria University lecturer Adrian Macey says the Government will be targeting transport.

He told Mike Hosking it’ll be good if today’s plan is forward-looking.

“The long term is still looking towards electrification if you like, getting out of these fossil fuels, this is decades ahead.”
