The Government's official working group that looks into reducing agricultural emissions isn't pleasing it's Climate Change Minister.  

The group, which consists of government officials and industry groups, put forward two proposals for consultation yesterday - a levy for individual farms and a levy for the processors who buy their products. 

But James Shaw says a serious price signal is the best way to reduce emissions while these latest proposals would only result in a less than one percent reduction in emissions by 2030. 

One of the partners of the group is Horticulture NZ and Natural Resources and Environment leader is Michelle Sands who joined Mike Hosking.
