	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/02/2020 answer text <p>The Government is committed to take action to mitigate climate change and to adapt to its impact. We have committed significant funding for agri-tech innovation, including research and development to move us towards net zero farming systems. We will offer financial assistance to enable farmers, foresters, and growers to invest in the equipment, technology, and infrastructure that they need, to improve their productivity, manage the environment sustainably, and deliver other public goods.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, The Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) supports the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from fuel supplied for use in transport. The RTFO is a certificate trading scheme which rewards those supplying low carbon fuels in the UK for use in road vehicles and some other forms of transport, including tractors.</p><p> </p><p>Low carbon fuels supplied under the RTFO saved 2.88 million tonnes of CO<sub>2</sub> emissions in just the last three quarters of 2018. The Government has nearly doubled targets for supply from 2018 to 2020, and set further targets out to 2032, providing investment certainty.</p><p> </p><p>Agricultural fuel and energy use represent around 1% of the total UK emissions, and constitutes just 10% of agricultural sector emissions.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 11/02/2020 17:25:14 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/02/2020 answer text <p>US animal products are produced to a range of US animal welfare standards, partly because some US regulatory requirements apply at state level and others apply at federal level. Industry farm assurance schemes also exist in the United States and involve scheme members meeting scheme standards, which may exceed US regulatory requirements. The quality standards which apply to particular products imported from the US also reflect the commercial supply chain requirements of the importer, which may exceed the baseline regulatory standards applying in the US.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 11/02/2020 17:29:00 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
