Wairarapa MP Kieran McAnulty says the Government’s plan to price agricultural emissions is a world first, with the proposals outlined earlier this week “coming from unprecedented engagement from the sector”.
The Government released its He Waka Eke Noa proposal this week for consultation, which is a scheme to make farmers pay for agricultural emissions from 2025.
Mr McAnulty says farmers play a massive role in the local economy, and it was crucial that they worked as partners with the Government in developing the approach.
He says he hopes farmers will participate in the discussion, with submissions now open.
Sector groups such as Federated Farmers have slammed the proposal.
