There’s something rotten with Denmark’s animal flatulence tax

From CFACT

By Gabriella Hoffman

“From 2030, farmers in Denmark will have to pay a tax for their animals’ farts. This is because cow, sheep and pig burps and farts produce a greenhouse gas called methane, which contribute to global warming and climate change. The “flatulence tax” means farmers will have to pay 300 kroner (£34) per tonne of methane that their animals produce in a bid to drive down Denmark’s emissions.” – BBC

In Episode 472 of District of Conservation, Gabriella chats about Denmark passing the first-ever animal flatulence (fart) tax to wean people off of eating meat. This policy has been discussed for several months. Learn about the policy and implications of selective breeding of livestock on the show today!
