Conclusion
Methane mitigation must be considered in the context of other priorities, including sustainable farming, food security and ongoing higher food costs. There is a risk that if costly measures are required of UK farmers, the UK could import cheaper meat from elsewhere with higher embedded emissions. This risk could potentially be mitigated by border adjustment mechanisms in future.
