On Tuesday (October 11), Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern along with her minister announced the scheme. As per the introduced scheme, the farmers will have to pay for their gas emissions including the methane released by cows and nitrous oxide emitted through livestock urine.

The scheme includes putting taxes on both methane and nitrous oxide are majorly emitted through fertiliser-rich urine that contributes to nearly half of the country’s gas emissions, The Guardian reported.

Now you must be wondering why cows? Well, it’s because the emissions released by the digestive system of nearly 6.9 million cows in New Zealand are amongst the biggest environmental problems.

The prime minister in her announcement said that this scheme will not only benefit the country’s export but will also help it achieve the country’s 2030 methane reduction target.

Ardern said, “The proposal, as it stands, means New Zealand’s farmers are set to be the first in the world to reduce agricultural emissions,” The Guardian reported.

Under the proposed scheme, by 2025 farmers who meet the requirements will have to pay a levy to the government on advice from the Climate Change Commission. However, the government rejected the idea of farmers deciding on the price.
