The agricultural emissions research levy was a controversial tax proposal in New Zealand. It was first proposed in 2003 and would collect an estimated $8.4 million annually from livestock farmers (out of an estimated annual $50–125 million in costs to the public which is caused by farm animals' emissions of greenhouse gases such as methane), and which would have been used to fund research on ...

With 21% of global methane emissions, cattle are a major driver of global warming. [ 84 ] : 6 When rainforests are cut and the land is converted for grazing, the impact is even higher. In Brazil, producing 1 kg of beef can result in the emission of up to 335 kg CO 2 -eq. [ 85 ] Other livestock, manure management and rice cultivation also emit ...

They also say that 32 percent of human-caused agriculture emissions comes from the methane release from livestock manure, farts, and burps, about 3.7 percent of all human-led greenhouse gas emissions.
