But if we took all the cars off the road, all the planes out of the sky, and all the ships off the water tomorrow, would that solve the biggest existential challenge of our time?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/science.sciencemag.org\/content\/370\/6517\/705\">A new study, published in the journal <em>Science<\/em>, says no.<\/a> Because of how we\u2019re growing the food we eat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Even if we could immediately stop all global emissions from burning fossil fuels (which we have shown few signs of being able to do), emissions from food and farming practices would likely push the planet over 1.5 and 2 degrees temperature rise above pre-industrial levels.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>That 1.5 degree limit on global heating is the bare minimum agreed at the Paris climate conference to reduce the climate catastrophes we\u2019re already seeing &#8211; like unprecedented wildfires, and more frequent and intense droughts, floods and storms.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Roughly a third of global greenhouse gas emissions come from agriculture, in total an average of 16 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents a year. These mainly come from deforestation for agriculture (carbon dioxide), digestion by cattle and other livestock (burping methane) and the production and use of artificial fertilisers like urea (carbon dioxide, and nitrous oxide).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>As the world\u2019s population increases, and more land is cleared for food production, these are projected to increase by around 80% (or a cumulative 1,356 billion tonnes by 2100) thanks to our current unsustainable farming practices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>The study\u2019s key message couldn\u2019t be clearer. We need extensive and unprecedented changes to the way we farm. Urgently.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>In New Zealand, agriculture is New Zealand\u2019s biggest climate polluter, responsible for 48% of New Zealand\u2019s emissions. Industrial dairying is responsible for most of that. But for too long it has been treated like New Zealand\u2019s dirty climate secret. We tiptoe around it; we carve out exemptions; and we manage to convince ourselves that we\u2019re a milk powder producing nation feeding the world and we can\u2019t change business as usual.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>This week, even Australia\u2019s coal-loving Prime Minister Scott Morrison, who has yet to implement a net zero emissions target, has named and shamed New Zealand for the fact that our commitment to zero carbon by 2050 excludes methane from agriculture.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>That\u2019s humiliating.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>In 2017, Jacinda Ardern described climate change as \u2018her generation\u2019s nuclear free moment\u2019, but we\u2019ve yet to see real climate action on agriculture from the Ardern government. Surely such an indictment from ScoMo should serve as a prompt to tackle agriculture head on. As the world\u2019s biggest dairy exporter, New Zealand has a key role to play in leading a transformation of our food and farming systems.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>The good news is that there are obvious ways to achieve this.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>The key starting point is to phase out the climate polluting input, synthetic nitrogen fertiliser, that drives intensive dairying. In a statement, one of the study\u2019s authors said that about 40% of all future climate heating from agriculture may come from nitrous oxide caused by fertilizer.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Globally, farmers have been relying on more and more synthetic fertiliser, enabling quick grass growth and more cows to be squeezed onto the land. Here in New Zealand, we use roughly half a million tonnes of synthetic nitrogen fertiliser every year. Its use has increased over 600% since 1990.&nbsp; It\u2019s made using fossil fuels, and when applied to land, that huge amount of fertiliser emits more greenhouse gases than our entire domestic aviation industry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>While the Government recently put a (high) cap on fertiliser use in the 2020 freshwater rules, we need this to be a sinking cap and for the Government to phase out synthetic nitrogen fertiliser for good. Fortunately, studies have shown that reducing synthetic nitrogen use and livestock numbers can actually produce better profits for farmers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>We also need to bring in a price on New Zealand\u2019s agriculture emissions and put real investment into regenerative farming that works with nature, not against it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>We don\u2019t need to stop farming, just farm better. There are ways to produce food that don\u2019t put our lives and our children\u2019s lives at risk.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>The perfect riposte to ScoMo is to acknowledge our Government\u2019s agricultural blindspot that\u2019s there for all the world to see, and get them to fix that huge methane and nitrous hole in our climate policy.<\/p>\n\n<p>The trick will be doing it before our other trading partners start realising that, unlike our Covid performance, we are far from world leaders when it comes to climate policy.<\/p>\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsroom.co.nz\/pro\/the-scomo-riposte\">Originally published on Newsroom. <\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\t\t\t<section\n\t\t\tclass=\"boxout post-15019 \"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-category=\"Take Action Boxout\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-action=\"Image\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-label=\"n\/a\"\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"cover-card-overlay\"\n\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/petition\/petition-ban-synthetic-nitrogen-fertiliser\/\" \n\t\t\t><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2018\/12\/d90cd49a-nz-dairy-cows-1024x576.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2018\/12\/d90cd49a-nz-dairy-cows-600x337.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2018\/12\/d90cd49a-nz-dairy-cows-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2018\/12\/d90cd49a-nz-dairy-cows-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2018\/12\/d90cd49a-nz-dairy-cows-510x287.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2018\/12\/d90cd49a-nz-dairy-cows.jpg 1418w\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 358px, (min-width: 780px) 313px, 88px\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\talt=\"Dairy cows\" title=\"Dairy cows\"\n\t\t\t\t\/>\n            \t\t\t<div class=\"boxout-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"boxout-heading medium\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-category=\"Take Action Boxout\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-action=\"Title\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-label=\"n\/a\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/petition\/petition-ban-synthetic-nitrogen-fertiliser\/\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tPETITION: Ban synthetic nitrogen fertiliser\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"boxout-excerpt\">Sign on now to call on the New Zealand Govt to ban chemical nitrogen fertiliser.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t                                    <a\n                        class=\"btn btn-primary\"\n                        data-ga-category=\"Take Action Boxout\"\n                        data-ga-action=\"Call to Action\"\n                        data-ga-label=\"n\/a\"\n                        href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/petition\/petition-ban-synthetic-nitrogen-fertiliser\/\"\n                        \n                    >\n                        Take Action\n                    <\/a>\n                \t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/section>\n\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Australian PM Scott Morrison has highlighted NZ\u2019s failure to commit to reducing farm methane emissions.
