Our role is to find ways for New Zealand to
meet its international greenhouse gas emission
obligations without reducing agricultural output.

Research

Work Stream 1: Methane
Lead scientists Peter Janssen and Graeme Attwood are overseeing multiple cutting-edge research programmes at the NZAGRC that will mitigate emissions of enteric methane.


Work Stream 2: Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent GHG with a long-term global warming potential 310 times that of CO2. In New Zealand, approximately 20% of total GHGs are N2O.


Work Stream 3: Soil Carbon
Soils sequester and store atmospheric carbon via the removal of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere during photosynthesis.


Work Stream 4: Integrated Systems
The NZAGRC's integrated farm systems research programme is focused on developing the tools to design novel, practical, credible and cost-effective low GHG-emitting farm systems for New Zealand farms.

 

Information Hub

Knowledge
Take a look at the range of publications produced by the NZAGRC including Annual Reports, fact sheets, our newsletter "RELEASE" and selected science publications.  Watch a short movie under "Media". 


Technologies
Many of the NZAGRC's deliverables are likely to take the form of products or services that can be used to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.


Practices
A number of the NZAGRC's outputs are likely to be management practices or systems that can be employed on-farm to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and potentially improve productivity.
