Stuart Nash talks forestry
The Minister for Forestry and Economic Development responds to Beef + Lamb NZ concerns about the need for limits on forestry offsetting for fossil fuel emitters. It's estimated a third of the nearly 80,000 ha of farmland sold into forestry was to carbon-only entities. It's also claimed the sale of sheep and beef properties into forestry will only accelerate as the carbon price increases with an estimated 700,000 stock units have been lost to forestry in the last three years.
