Download Impacts of Emissions Reduction Plan on the primary sector

The purpose of this report is to assess the effects of proposed initiatives and policies on the Emissions Reduction Plan (ERP). We used the version of the New Zealand Forestry and Agricultural Regional Model (NZFARM) that had been parameterised for the agricultural emissions pricing assessment which was completed in 2022 for the Ministry for Primary Industries. The analysis was conducted at national scale to provide insights into the adoption of management practices and technologies to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the corresponding changes in net agricultural revenues, GHG emissions, agricultural production, and land use.
