International funding

The NZAGRC receives additional funding from MPI to deliver research coordination and capability building services to the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases (GRA). The GRA was set up by New Zealand in 2010 to bring countries together to find ways to grow more food without growing greenhouse gas emissions.
