National’s climate moo-turn: Agricultural emissions pricing delayed to 2030National is kicking agricultural emissions pricing to next decade, saying the sector will stay out of the Emissions Trading Scheme and only face an emissions price by 2030. Farmers will begin paying emissions prices in 2025 under the current Government’s proposals. The Government is still ironing out the scheme for how this will happen, but has not shifted from the 2025 date. National’s scheme would measure emissions at the farm level from 2025, but farmers would only begin paying an emissions price in 2030. We have food security problems in NZ and 0 subsidies to help ensure domestic food security.
