Taiwan’s Ministry of Agriculture Advances Low-Carbon and Circular Agriculture for Net-Zero Goal
January 23, 2025 | CNA NetZero (In Chinese) |
Taiwan’s Ministry of Agriculture outlined three key strategies to support the nation’s net-zero goal during the 3rd meeting of the Taiwan’s National Climate Change Committee: deep carbon reduction, circular agriculture, and carbon sequestration. While agriculture accounts for only 2.16% of national emissions, the forestry sector could offset 7.64% of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Targeted initiatives aim to cut emissions and enhance carbon sinks, including biogas energy from livestock waste, precision feeding, fuel-efficient fisheries, and energy-saving aquaculture. Circular agriculture will repurpose agricultural residues into feed, materials, and fertilizers. To boost carbon sequestration, efforts focus on forest expansion, soil management, and marine restoration, such as seagrass beds, wetlands, and mangroves. Partnering with 70–80 private enterprises through ESG-driven initiatives, the ministry is promoting corporate engagement in sustainable agriculture. By 2030, these efforts aim to cut emissions by 2.82 million tons and increase carbon sinks by 1.37 million tons, reinforcing agriculture’s role in Taiwan’s climate transition.
