(EURACTIV) - Current policies are not a sufficient incentive for farmers to do more to achieve the EU climate targets, according to the European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change (ESABCC) experts, who warned of the need for a carbon pricing system for the sector.
“Farmers and land managers need to be encouraged more strongly to reduce emissions,” Jette Bredahl Jacobsen, vice-chair of the ESABCC, said in a press release, adding that “this could be achieved by putting a price on emissions and rewarding removals”.
