When it comes to reducing on-farm emissions, we are building on a strong position. This is thanks to New Zealand's natural advantages, like our pasture-based system, combined with farmers' efforts to be as efficient as possible.
It’s going to take ongoing action to maintain this position and keep our competitive edge. Having an on-farm emissions target is an important part of keeping our Co-op resilient for the future. It will help us secure and retain high value customers and enable the Co-op to meet regulatory requirements and access finance.
Find out what this emissions reduction approach means for farmers below. We explore the challenge we face, why we need an on-farm emissions target and how we can work with farmers to achieve it. It’s intended to be a practical guide reflecting best practice and the latest science and covers a range of potential on-farm actions, some of which farners may already have underway.
