A new Climate Programme – published by the Finnish Central Union of Agricultural and Forest Producers (MTK) – intends to balance emissions and removals of greenhouse gases in agriculture and forestry.

The programme is based on four pillars: ‘emissions down; sequestration up; replaced by renewables; adaptation as a key’. While it adopts a robust scientific approach, it is the result of a participatory process, reflecting farmers’ and foresters’ commitment to climate action.
