A world-first scheme will see farmers in New Zealand pay for methane emissions from their livestock by 2025.  

The Government has admitted that getting the scheme in place within three years will "require a significant amount of work". 

So what is the plan? Will it significantly curtail climate change? And will farmers be able to manage the financial pressure added to their load?

Today, Andrew Hoggard, the President of Federated Farmers, joins Damien for a discussion about how this plan will work in practice and what impact it’s likely to have on the farming community.
