Kate Acland: Beef and Lamb NZ Chair talks changes in methane reduction targets

Beef and Lamb's declaring methane target cuts, great news for New Zealand. 

The Government's reducing targets to 14 to 24-percent below 2017 levels. 

That's between 24 to 47-percent lower than previous targets. 

Beef & Lamb Chair Kate Acland told Ryan Bridge the Government's right to say a number of farmers would have been put out of business without this change. 

She says the new targets are in line with what the rest of the world is doing, with most countries also looking to incentivise not penalise.
