Recently commissioned research has confirmed the carbon footprint of New Zealand beef and lamb is amongst the lowest in the world. Additionally, NZ’s sheepmeat is arguably “climate neutral” when warming effect of emissions and on-farm sequestration are both taken into account. Julian Ashby, Beef + Lamb New Zealand’s Chief Insight Officer, discusses why B+LNZ commissioned the research, how it was undertaken and how credible the results are.
