The Paris Agreement did happen, but in early 2016 many countries though that they would have a few years to finalise the details. This has not been the case. Governments around the world have been fast tracking climate change issues and ratifying the global agreement much earlier than anticipated. New Zealand ratified the agreement in October 2016 and it came into force in early November. There is a growing urgency at all levels to address climate change. Governments, businesses and research organisations are all coming on board and considering Paris targets is being incorporated into long range thinking and planning. Mark also highlighted that there are a number of science and policy challenges around agricultural GHGs. Large technical questions remain about how to mitigate agriculture&rsquo;s emissions whilst still producing food. In NZ, it&rsquo;s becoming accepted that the livestock sector will have to make a contribution to achieving the Paris targets. However, this thinking isn&rsquo;t replicated at a global level currently. At the recent COP in Marrakesh there was much talk about adaptation and not much about mitigation. The NZ delegation have been trying to address this and to encourage discussion about agriculture. The interest seems to be growing.

It turns out that this is more difficult to quantify than it might at first appear. This is due to the need to convert methane into carbon dioxide equivalents in order to compare sources of the emissions, and there being a number of ways to do this. Agriculture contributes about 9% of current global emissions, but does this contribute 9% of the warming? Using different conversion factors, the warming potential of agriculture can range from 7-22%. By using actual historical temperature data and modelling, it can be shown that agricultural methane and nitrous oxide contribute about 19%. Andy has been involved in work looking at different future scenarios for global warming. These show that under business as usual conditions, where no changes are made to try to reduce emissions, agriculture&rsquo;s effect gets smaller over time as other sectors emissions grow comparatively more rapidly. If all sectors take steps to reduce their GHGs, then agriculture&rsquo;s contribution becomes more important as other sectors with more mitigation potential reduce their emissions. Andy highlighted that if nothing is done about non-carbon dioxide gases by 2050, we will have to actively remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to achieve the 2 degree Paris Agreement target. On a positive note, international initiatives are growing. 119 countries included agriculture in their Paris commitments and 64% of these are developing countries.

Globally the dairy industry&rsquo;s emissions add up, but it also employs a significant number of people and provides nutrition in an &lsquo;emission efficient&rsquo; manner. The New Zealand dairy industry footprint is lower than the global average due to year round pasture grazing, low cow replacement rates and a relatively low use of supplementary feed. The Dairy Declaration of Rotterdam, signed in October 2016, shows that the global dairy industry are committed to sustainable development of the sector to generate benefit for people and the planet. So what are the dairy industry doing here in NZ? The sector has both climate and energy commitments. 25% of NZ emissions come from dairy. The emissions per unit of milk solids have dropped by 20% since 1990. Therefore Fonterra are promoting that farmers continue to farm more efficiently. Looking at managing nitrogen and nitrous oxide, Fonterra are using Overseer and working with about 10,000 farmers in this area. Farmers are developing riparian management plans and planting more.

She opened with the fact that on farm solutions are not going to be enough to hit NZ&rsquo;s climate change targets. There are three key options for diversifying land use: (i) forestry/natives; (ii) existing horticulture alternatives; and (iii) new products, including high-value foods. Suzi went through these options in turn. With respect to planting more forests, it&rsquo;s not something that we can continue to add indefinitely. Native forests are longer lasting, but to date no one has been planting these in response to the ETS. Additionally, forestry isn&rsquo;t reducing agricultural GHGs, it is sequestering carbon. If trees are planted on marginal land, then there weren&rsquo;t many GHGs coming from that land anyway. When considering horticulture, Suzi questioned why people aren&rsquo;t planting alternatives currently. The reasons include risk and uncertainty, behavioural barriers and capacity and capital requirements. As biological GHGs aren&rsquo;t currently priced, there is little incentive to consider other options. Even a small cost would encourage farmers to look at alternative land uses. Suzi then considered the other products that could be grown in NZ. She questioned whether there could be more investigation into these and more funding for experimental areas. There are people looking at products such as insect farming, lavender and saffron in NZ. These are currently at a cottage industry scale and it can be difficult to scale up. There are a number of &lsquo;crazes&rsquo; that have been popular in the past, such as ostriches and goats, which have never reached a significant scale. In closing, Suzi suggested a number of policies and actions that could encourage land owners to consider diversifying the way that they manage their land. These included: (i) basic research on new products; (ii) supporting early adoption with field trials and evaluation; (iii) support for emerging industries; and (iv) pricing biological GHGs.</p>\r\n<p><strong>View slides</strong></p>\r\n<p><a href=\"http://motu.nz/our-work/environment-and-resources/emission-mitigation/agricultural-greenhouse-gas-emissions/the-role-of-land-use-change/\">http://motu.nz/our-work/environment-and-resources/emission-mitigation/agricultural-greenhouse-gas-emissions/the-role-of-land-use-change/</a></p>\r\n<p><strong>About Suzi</strong></p>\r\n<p>Suzi Kerr is currently a Senior Fellow at Motu, a Principal Investigator in Te Punaha Matatini - a Centre of Research Excellence and an Adjunct Professor at Victoria University.
