 The owner of the farm is angry! Newxo walletZealand aims to collect taxes on cow burp, fart and pee, pointing to global warming
The AP news agency reported on October 11 that the New Zealand government plans to impose a greenhouse gas tax on cattle ranchers. This is because farm animals emit greenhouse gases from burping and peeing. The tariff plan is one of the ways the New Zealand government is trying to fight global warming. The New Zealand government plans to impose a greenhouse gas emissions tax on cattle ranchers in 2025, but it has not yet been determined how much the tax will be charged.
The New Zealand government said New Zealand will be the first in the world to impose a tax on livestock farming's greenhouse gas emissions. And ranchers will be able to cope with the rising costs by raising prices for environmentally friendly products. by in New Zealand The population of farm animals exceeds the population of the country by millions. And it makes up about half of New Zealand's greenhouse gas emissions from cattle burp. which emits methane Cows fart emit methane and nitrogen, while cows pee emit nitrous oxide.
As a result, part of New Zealand's greenhouse gas emission reduction plan The goal is to reduce methane emissions from livestock farms by 10 percent by 2030 and to 47 percent by 2050, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said. The money collected from the greenhouse gas emissions tax will be used to develop technology, research and finance livestock farms.
New Zealand Agriculture Minister Damien O'Connor also supported the policy. and that farmers have already begun to be affected by global warming after the drought and more frequent flooding problems Being a leader in tackling the greenhouse gas emissions from livestock farming is both positive for the environment and New Zealand's economy. This is an exciting opportunity for New Zealand and farmers.
While ranchers have voiced their frustration with the plan, Federate Farmers, a movement that defends the interests of New Zealand's cattle industry, said the plan would be "destructive." New Zealand is full of small towns. And it would prompt ranchers to sell their farms and plant trees instead if the tax was enacted.
