The Council of Ministers has decided to implement a national program to monitor greenhouse gas emissions from livestock farming. The program, with a budget of approximately €1.15 million, will be implemented from 2026 to 2028 by the Agricultural Research Institute and will be funded by national resources. The aim is to develop targeted policy measures to reduce emissions from the livestock sector and contribute to achieving the national goal of reducing emissions by 32% by 2030. The program is based on a previous project funded by the Recovery and Resilience Fund.
