Recently, New Zealand released a draft plan to set a fee for agricultural emissions, mainly methane.
New Zealand has a population of about 5 million, but there are about 10 million cattle and 26 million sheep.
Nearly half of the agricultural exporting nation's greenhouse gas emissions come from agriculture -- burping sheep and cattle.
New Zealand has drawn criticism for excluding agriculture from its emissions reduction plans.
From 2025, New Zealand farmers will have to pay for the carbon emissions of their livestock, according to the latest draft.
The draft also encourages farmers to offset carbon emissions by using feed additives and planting trees on farms.
Proceeds from the program will be used to provide farmers with research, development and advisory services.
