Full report on options for different farm types to reduce Green House Gases emissions.
This report provides an overview of currently available options to reduce (mitigate) New Zealand’s biological GHG emissions. The vast majority of those emissions comes from cattle and sheep. Mitigation options involving changes in farm systems, including potential land use change, were quantified for a set of model farms that represent regional average dairy farms and various regional average sheep and beef systems. Off-farm emissions embedded in supplementary feeds were included in our analysis where relevant, mainly for the dairy sector.
