As part of this week’s “Opinion Maker” show of Sarah’s Country, Mark McCoard from Deer Farmers Association and Phil McKenzie from DINZ discuss how deer farmers are going to be able to meet climate change emission reduction targets.

While the industry welcomes many aspects of the Climate Change Commission’s interim report, it will be a challenge for deer farmers.

If the commission’s recommendations are adopted, livestock farmers will need to reduce their net methane emissions from 2018 levels by 13% by 2030, a further 7% by 2035 and another 4% by 2050.
