Farmers could pay levies for cow burps by 2025 under the plans.
There are some 26 million sheep and about 10 million cattle in New Zealand and about half of the country's greenhouse gas emissions come from farms.
"No other country in the world has yet developed a system for pricing and reducing agricultural emissions, so our farmers are set to benefit from being first movers," Ardern said. "Cutting emissions will help New Zealand farmers to not only be the best in the world but the best for the world."Some farming groups expressed concern at the proposal.
Morrison noted "New Zealand sheep and beef farmers have more than 1.4 million hectares [3.5 million acres] of native forest on their land, which is absorbing carbon and it's only fair" this is appropriately recognized in any framework from day one.
