Outturn emissions versus indicator trajectories for the agricultural sector (2003-2022)
| Progress against indicators and milestones | Challenges | |
| Agriculture | Phase 1 of the GHG Industry Action Plan completed in 2012.
Government policy review due end of 2012.
Government is developing a longer term evaluation framework of performance indicators to track progress reducing emissions, with supporting data on farm practices. |
More detail required on Phase 2 delivery: resolving the funding arrangements for the roll-out of the Farm Efficiency Hub, and the establishment of a framework to monitor progress.
Policy assessment should include the full range of options and a set of triggers for the introduction of new policies if voluntary measures fall short of agreed savings set out in the LCTP. Should be established as a matter of urgency. |
