Greenhouse numbers crunched

A workshop will be held in Tomarata on August 2 to help farmers understand their greenhouse gas numbers and why they need a plan. The workshop is being organised by Beef & Lamb NZ and is one of many being run nationwide. Under He Waka Eke Noa (the primary sector’s climate change commitment to manage greenhouse gas emissions), all farmers will need to know their emission numbers by the end of this year. By 2025, all farmers must have a written plan in place to measure and manage their greenhouse emissions.

The workshops will cover:
• An explanation of why every farm should know their greenhouse numbers and have a plan
• A case study demonstration of what the calculation involves
• Completing the calculation for a farm
• How to complete a greenhouse action plan with examples of farm systems, and management actions that can be taken to sustainably manage emissions.

The workshop will run from 10am to 3pm and lunch will be provided. A venue is still to be confirmed.
