(FWI) – The Irish government is considering an initiative to significantly reduce the number of dairy cows in order to reach its climate change targets.
A target of reducing emissions from farming in Ireland by a quarter by 2030 has been set by government.
One proposal to achieve this is by reducing the national dairy herd by 10%, the equivalent of removing 65,000 cows a year for three years, according to the Irish Independent.
