Exploring the role of high-value crops to reduce agricultural greenhouse gas emissions in New Zealand

This study explores the potential benefits of transitioning from livestock farming to high-value alternative crops as a strategy for mitigating agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in New Zealand. The government has set ambitious targets for reducing methane (CH₄) emissions. However, since animal product exports play a crucial role in New Zealand's economy, any shift in land use will have significant impacts on both the regional and national economy.
