The agriculture sector is looking for support in today's Emission Reduction Plan. 

Dairy NZ Chief Executive Tim Mackle told Mike Hosking a lot of technology is being created to make farming greener.

“Unsurprisingly, a lot of the candidates we’ve been working on, we’ve just got to move faster on them. I’m an optimist on this, I think we can do it.”

Meanwhile, Victoria University lecturer Adrian Macey says the Government will be targeting transport.

He told Mike Hosking it'll be good if today's plan is forward-looking.

“The long term is still looking towards electrification if you like, getting out of these fossil fuels, this is decades ahead.”
