The Government has committed to launching a research programme to develop new technologies and feed additives to lower farm emissions within the next decade.
This afternoon the Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, set out his goal that agriculture should reduce emissions by 22% to 30% by 2030. The target for agriculture was considerably lower than those set for other sectors.
