Heads of Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Bill 2013: Discussion (Resumed)

11:45 am

Mr. Paul Kelly:

No, what we are suggesting is that we need to look at the agriculture emissions as is and continue in the areas of research and so on. Given that we are such a strong country in terms of agrifood, we have a huge and world class scientific capability in all aspects of dairy science from processing to production and it is a case of continuing to invest in that to see where there are further measures to increase the mitigation figure.
