Beef and Lamb New Zealand is welcoming Labour's plan to review the Emissions Trading Scheme.

Labour says ETS prices are too low to meaningfully cut emissions and make planting exotic forests more attractive than growing food.

It wants farmers to adopt new technology to reduce emissions and isn't campaigning on making them pay directly for agricultural emissions.

Beef and Lamb Chair Kate Acland told Andrew Dickens Labour is starting to recognise how important farming is to the economy.

She says Kiwis are among the most emissions efficient farmers in the world - and stopping farming isn't the way to cut agricultural emissions.
