Farmers are pushing ACT and New Zealand First for less politicking and more action.

The two parties have expressed interest in withdrawing from the global Paris Agreement unless more realistic emissions targets are produced to fight climate change.

But Federated Farmers president Wayne Langford says they're in government and could be resolving the problems creating uncertainty for farmers now.

He told Andrew Dickens the Paris Agreement in itself isn't necessarily the problem.

Langford says we need to dig deeper and look at what's setting Paris back, because it's actually what we're setting on ourselves as a government.
