Greenhouse Gases and Climate Change
Greenhouse effect including long and short lived gases
This resource explains the science behind the greenhouse gas effect including the warming potential of different greenhouse gases and where soil carbon fits into climate change
Projected impacts of climate change on New Zealand farming systems
Adapting to a changing climate
Farmers are adapting to different climatic conditions and weather patterns all the time; it is the nature of farming. The future impacts of climate change are based on modelled predictions and extensive knowledge and understanding of the impact of climate and temperature on weather patterns. This modelling suggests more frequent and more prolonged adverse events such as drought, floods, and snowstorms.
The Greenhouse Effect, including long and short-lived gases
The term "Greenhouse Effect" explained including long and short lived gases, soil carbon and New Zealand's GHG emission profile
Climate Change Basics
New Zealand has the lowest carbon footprint for milk in the world. However, in New Zealand, half of our emissions come from agriculture, and nearly a quarter come from dairy biological emissions (nitrous oxide and methane). Gain a better understanding of the New Zealand dairy carbon footprint
