Climate Change Targets 2026-2030: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Dr. Karl Richards:

Within the MACC, we have estimated primarily what the livestock displacement is. For organic farming, it is to reduce your stocking rate to what would typically be found on an organic farm. Displacement from forestry and displacement of animals by production of grass for AD are included in there but there are some uncertainities on the organic farming side as to what the emissions from organically raised animals are. That is an area of work that is currently being done within the national farm survey.
