Federated Farmers says Fonterra’s climate reduction plan is doable but extremely ambitious.
Fonterra is aiming to reduce farm emissions 30% by 2030.
It will do this through a combination of new technologies, using new and existing vegetation to remove carbon and on farm practices.
Federated Farmers President Wayne Langford told Mike Hosking that they’re on track to meet the target already.
He said that farmers have been doing a lot of the work already, and some of Fonterra’s numbers show that.
This is on top of an investment of €18,060 for extra soiled water storage and additional calf housing over the past ten years, based on a typical 100 cow dairy farm.
