Episode Details

Canterbury University Professor of Physics David Frame has given the government’s plan to price farm emissions a tentative tick. But says New Zealand needs to have a conversation about its priorities as the push to reduce emissions intensifies. And, he says the sector needs to find peace with the fact that the science around methane is well understood.

Also in this episode, senior reporter Neal Wallace covers the drop in farmgate returns and looks at the global factors causing it.

And Bryan talks to Federated Farmers president Wayne Langford, who thinks the government's emissions plan announcement was "tone deaf".
