The red meat sector is urging the Government to support the alternative to the Emissions Trading Scheme.
Overseen by He Waka Eke Noa, it would see those in the agricultural sector assess their own liability for levies.
It also looks at rebates for any effort to reduce emissions for things like planting trees.
Meat Industry Association Chief Executive Sirma Karapeeva told Tim Dower the ETS treats everything in the same way.
She says with the ETS, there are no incentives, no encouragement and no ability to tweak operations to do better and adjust.
