According to the Klimarådet is the procurement of carbon-rich farmlands of the way forward against climate change objectives. Agriculture welcomes.
the Removal of carbon-rich agricultural land must be intensified, believe Klimarådet, as Friday has presented a new report with recommendations for CO2 reduction.
The recommendation am Anne Arhnung, who is the managing director of Agriculture & Food.
– Klimarådets recommendations pointing straight into the recommendations that we made as we, together with the Danish society for nature conservation proposed to take up to 100,000 hectares of lavbundsjord, sounds it.
the Danish society for nature conservation and Agriculture & Food went in the beginning of the year together on a gambit, where about 100,000 hectares of lavbundsjord be taken out of production to benefit both agriculture, nature, climate and the environment.
According to Anne Arhnung it would be reasonable to have a compensation of up to 150.000 dollars per acre.
Agriculture release on the way with something not very productive land.
at the same time release the the climate for a lot of klimagas, as the low lands in the cultivated state contributes ten percent of Güvenilir Bahis Siteleri the of agriculture for feeding a family.
typically, This is land that historically has been wet and therefore have accumulated large amounts of carbon, but, after involvement in farming has been drained and thus release the carbon free as CO2.
It is estimated that there are around 171.000 hectares lavbundsjord in Denmark.
the Proposal is based on voluntariness and there is no reason to make it compulsory for farmers are queuing up, says Anne Arhnung.
– We think it is quite unnecessary to speak of the duty at the present time, for there are many farmers in line to be with.
– So this applies to just about to get started, but it requires that you find the money for it, sounds it.
There exists a small pool of 65 million dollars annually for the procurement of lavbundsjorde in the years 2016-20.
Radical Left will have earmarked one billion kroner for the procurement of the finance act of 2020, which is expected to land within a short time.
the Government has also been able to move nearly a billion Danish kroner from the EU’s agricultural subsidies to the green transition in 2021.
But the money must not be used for the procurement, believes Anne Arhnung.
– We believe that farmers should be compensated directly without agricultural subsidies.
The other money in farm subsidies we also use to be more green, so it must be used under all circumstances, it sounds.
