Emissions trends 'going in the right direction' as farmers 'follow the science'
Agricultural emissions overall decreased by 1.2% or 0.29Mt of CO2 equivalent in 2022.Â
It is "promising to see greenhouse gas trends going in the right direction" as farmers "follow the science" and implement measures on their farms, according to Macra national president Elaine Houlihan.
Macra has welcomed the Environmental Protection Agency's report today which shows a reduction of 1.9% compared to 2021, with emission reductions in all key sectors except transport, according to the provisional results.
