For the researcher, the best way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions on the farm is to increase the productivity of the sheep, something that New Zealand producers have been working on for thirty years. The prolificacy rate increased from 100% in the early 90s to 125% in 2008. In 2009, New Zealanders produced more carcass weight of lambs compared to 1990, but from a flock whose the workforce fell by 43%. Meanwhile, the carbon footprint has decreased by 20%, thanks to an increase in production efficiency.
