In response to the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment’s report \u201cClimate change and Agriculture: Understanding biological greenhouse gases\u201d, Greenpeace Sustainable Agriculture Campaigner Genevieve Toop said:<\/p>\n

“This report confirms that expanding industrial agriculture and meeting our international climate commitments are not compatible. We need systemic change in the way we farm. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe PCE states the obvious – more cows mean more emissions, and as such the last thing we should be doing is ushering in a new wave of industrial dairying via large scale irrigation schemes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe report also confirms that waiting on techno fixes is not an option. Luckily there\u2019s a proven, profitable and eminently sustainable alternative ready to go\u00a0 – ecological farming. Switching to eco-farming would not only reduce emissions, but also protect our soil and water. Hopefully the ECE\u2019s report will spur focus on and investment in this area.<\/p>\n

\u201cNew Zealand is not hamstrung over agricultural emissions. There\u2019s plenty we can do. It\u2019s just not what we\u2019ve always done.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report can be downloaded here.<\/a><\/p>\n
