Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Carbon Sequestration and Storage in Agriculture: Discussion

Dr. Karl Richards:

It is certainly something we are currently looking at. We can come back to the Deputy with some figures. There is a beef life project, which has a number of organic beef farms within it and they can be compared with conventional beef farms. We are modelling that through life-cycle analysis to come up with the CO2 emissions per hectare for each of those farming types.
