This comes after months of negotiations between the country’s major parties, farmers, the industry, trade unions and environmental groups.
From 2030, farmers will have to pay a levy of 300 kroner per tonne of methane (as per carbon dioxide equivalent) on emissions from livestock including cows and pigs, which will rise to 750 kroner in 2035.
The Country's Jamie Mackay explains further.

Westpac has been accused of hypocrisy over punishing Kiwi farmers for their emissions while investing in fossil fuels.
Westpac is among the major banks that introduced emissions reduction targets for farmers - including reducing the emissions intensity of the dairy farms it finances in Australia and New Zealand.
However, these targets translate into Westpac Australia allowing Australian dairy farmers to continue producing more CO2-equivalent emissions per tonne of milk than New Zealand dairy farmers.
Chief executive Catherine McGrath says Kiwi dairy farmers start at a better level than their Australian counterparts.

The founder of Happy Mum Happy Child, Maria Foy, revealed she's pivoted from her 'mumfluencer' brand and stopped posting her kids as they've gotten older and voiced concern about the consequences.
Foy says kids deserve their privacy - and she doesn't feel comfortable sharing their intimate moments as teenagers.
"Now they're coming up to a point where I don't feel comfortable talking about certain things - even though as a parent, you yearn for that connection...but they deserve that privacy."

Labour's Jan Tinetti says consequences for rule-breaking in the House should apply across the aisle.
Tinetti claims Education Minister Erica Stanford called her a 'stupid b....' after a fiery exchange during Question Time.
Stanford withdrew and apologised.
Last week, Labour's Willie Jackson was forced to leave the House when he wouldn't apologise for calling David Seymour a liar.
Tinetti says it's fair to also call out Stanford.
"Willie got thrown out of the House by the Speaker for that. So, you know, there is a consequence to that, that's why we have the rules and that's why we have consequences."

Former Productivity Commission Chair Ganesh Nana has led group of 15 economists who've written to the Prime Minister claiming spending cuts are harming the economy.

Dr Diana Sarfati says use was already declining.
"The peak prescription for puberty blockers was around 2021- and in the last couple of years, we're already starting to see a drop-off."

An Australian school is taking a unique approach to educating students about social media and internet safety.
Pymble Ladies’ College has launched a 'Wise Phones' initiative that gives students in Years 4 to 8 age-appropriate smartphones that block social media and the internet until they reach Year 10 or 16 years of age.
Principal Dr Kate Hadwen says it's important to teach kids about the technology slowly as they age - rather than banning phones outright.
"It's a little bit like learning to swim - when we have our children, we don't throw them into the ocean, we teach them slowly and take them with us on the journey. And that's what I believe about the use of technology as well."

ADHD diagnoses and prescriptions have surged around the world - but there's concern from experts that we might be overdoing it.
In New Zealand, prescriptions for the relevant medication have increased tenfold since 2006 and Pharmac has reported a 140 percent rise in demand for these medications.
General Practice NZ chair Dr Bryan Betty says it's a complex diagnosis - and there are several conditions that can mimic ADHD symptoms.
"ADHD is very complex, there's a list of diagnostic criteria. It's really really important that assessments give a proper diagnosis, because the treatment can be life-changing - and it's really important to understand that. However, it can mimic a whole lot of other things."
