Science solutions to agricultural emissions

From Nine To Noon, 9:44 am on 17 December 2015

With the completion of the COP 21 climate negotiations in Paris the government is suggesting a scientific solution to agricultural emissions will be a major part of New Zealand's contribution to keeping global warming at bay. Overall agriculture is estimated to be responsible for up to a third of global emissions and roughly half of New Zealand's emissions. New Zealand is part of a Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases through the Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Research Centre based in Palmerston North. Dr Andy Reisinger is the centre's deputy director.
