Sheep and beef
Every sheep and beef farm is different. Improving efficiency across the whole farm system can benefit productivity and profitability and help to reduce on-farm emissions. Many farmers are making practical lower-risk changes that deliver early wins and build confidence, then making bigger changes over time.

Cropping and horticulture
Emissions from dedicated cropping and horticulture contribute a very small percentage of New Zealand’s total biological emissions.
-
Dairy
The dairy sector contributes 46% of New Zealand’s agricultural greenhouse gas emissions, with an average dairy farm emitting 9.6 tonnes of GHG/ha/year.
