This shift in resource efficiency has also been seen in agriculture - since 1990 emissions from producing a kilogram of pork have decreased by 30 per cent and by 16 per cent for a litre of milk. Many of our farms are using more efficient agricultural practices, for example improving crop nutrient and crop health management. We want low emission, highly productive land while ensuring we hand our environment on to the next generation in a better state than we found it. As part of this, we want the UK to become a world leader in terms of competitiveness, resource productivity and resource efficiency: maximising the value we extract from our resources, and minimising the negative environmental and carbon impacts associated with their extraction, use and disposal. We will work toward achieving zero avoidable waste by 2050. Reducing emissions from natural resources will be important for meeting the 2050 target costeffectively. Emissions from natural resources could fall by 30 per cent, with tree cover in England increasing by 180,000 hectares from 9.8 per cent to 11 per cent, as they are nurtured from saplings into maturity, providing essential spaces for our communities and enhancing our carbon sink.
