Government scientists have busted research claims that our meat farms are close to carbon-neutral. One study – funded by Beef + Lamb – found that trees on sheep and beef farms are sucking up between 63 and 118 per cent of the greenhouse emissions produced. A new Ministry for the Environment report, released today, found the figure is closer to 33 per cent. The disputed number could have financial consequence for farmers. From 2025, farms are being asked to measure, reduce and potentially ... Beef Farming, Meat Farms, Carbon Neutral, Greenhouse Gases, Busted, Emissions, Scientists

The development of fast-response analysers for the measurement of nitrous oxide (N2O) has resulted in exciting opportunities for new experimental techniques beyond commonly used static chambers and gas chromatography (GC) analysis. For example, quantum cascade laser (QCL) absorption spectrometers are now being used with eddy covariance (EC) or automated chambers. However, using a field-based QCL EC system to also quantify N2O concentrations in gas samples taken from static chambers ...

... nitrogen fertiliser is responsible for the pollution of waterways and the creation of nitrous oxide, a powerful and long-lasting greenhouse gas. Once we have a better understanding of the nitrogen-carbon relationship, we’ll be able to know if the increase in carbon storage from nitrogen fertiliser offsets the nitrous oxide production.

The Waikato region has the highest number of dairy farms in New Zealand. It also has the largest number of dairy cattle – 1.9 million animals – one of the largest concentrations in the world! Dairy is New Zealand’s largest export sector, producing $17 billion of revenue. Stats NZ reports that, from 1995 to 2017, there was a 70% increase in dairy cattle.
