Labour’s agriculture spokesperson Jo Luxton isn’t happy with the revised [methane] targets but concedes a Labour-led government wouldn’t go back to the old target.

“We didn’t always get it right in our last term of Government – we certainly wouldn’t go back to that."

All #UNFCCC parties should:
👉 REJECT “no additional warming” targets that undermine methane reductions and let big meat and dairy producers off the hook.

High-income countries must:
👉 Justly transition away from large-scale industrial agriculture
👉 Anchor agricultural climate ambition in #Agroecology

Even the dairy industry questions this logic.

"How much of that flows into rural communities remains to be seen, because I imagine plenty of the more attractive payouts are going to be applied to farm debt consolidation." - Brendhan Greaney, Tatua Dairy
