Other nations have been taking such steps, including the Netherlands which plans to cut the herd by 30% by 2030.<\/p>\n\n<p>The Government\u2019s projections show the ERP will reduce agricultural emissions by as little as 0.33 Mt CO2e over the 2022-2025 period which is less than 1% of the industry\u2019s projected emissions.<\/p>\n\n<p>The ERP\u2019s approach to agriculture relies heavily on industry self-regulation &#8211; through He Waka Eke Noa &#8211; which is also expected to reduce emissions by only 1%.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cInstead of just cutting cow numbers, the Government is relying on industry promises, hypothetical, and unproven technofixes to agricultural emissions, and the freshwater reforms that the dairy industry is undermining at every step,\u201d says Rose.<\/p>\n\n<p>The Emissions Reduction Plan gifts $710 million to the agricultural industry &#8211; a quarter of the entire Climate Emergency Response Fund which it has not contributed towards.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cDespite the climate emergency, industrial dairy has yet again been given a free pass that now comes with a huge subsidy from the rest of New Zealand.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThis is a kick in the guts for New Zealanders who are effectively subsidising the intensive dairy industry due to the industry\u2019s exemption from the ETS.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cTo truly deal with the climate crisis the Government needs a far better plan than they have produced today. A plan that cuts cow numbers, phases out synthetic fertiliser and drives the transition to more plant-based regenerative organic farming,\u201d&nbsp; says
