World’s first #carbontax on #livestock
Dairy #farmers in #Denmark face having to pay an annual tax of 672 krone ($96) per #cow for the planet-heating #emissions they generate. The country's coalition government agreed this week to introduce the world's first #carbon emissions #tax on #agriculture. It will mean new levies on livestock starting in 2030. Denmark is a major #dairy and #pork exporter, and agriculture is the country's biggest source of emissions.
