A partnership between the New Zealand government and major agribusiness companies - we're helping farmers reduce emissions while maintaining profitability and productivity.
Our partnership was set up to deliver a step change in investment to drive a focus on game-changing emissions reduction solutions to help farmers reduce emissions and maintain their competitive edge.
We’re fast-tracking tools for New Zealand’s pasture-based farms, we’re taking calculated risks and scaling-up efforts made to date. Our success will secure the future profitability of our exports.
Deliver system-wide funding and unblock constraints for broader impact whilst supporting an adequate pipeline of R&D and prioritised testing to enable the development and commercialisation of new technologies for uptake on-farm.
Provide navigation and acceleration support, investing capital and capability, and fostering connections, to enable local and global ventures to be more successful in New Zealand.
Identify and assess emerging trends, develop global partnerships, agitate need for change and provide input into local research strategy and government regulatory settings.
Agriculture is the backbone of the New Zealand economy and Kiwi farmers are some of the most efficient producers of meat and milk in the world - but the importance of reducing agricultural emissions cannot be understated.
Global customers are setting ambitious targets through their supply chain putting critical export revenue at risk.
We’re working to get emissions reduction tools into farmers’ hands sooner to help them meet these targets, maintain market access and protect trade agreements.
Our ambition is to ensure all farmers in Aotearoa New Zealand have equitable access to affordable, effective solutions to reduce biogenic methane and nitrous oxide emissions, with a goal of supporting a 30% reduction by 2030 and enabling development and adoption of solutions to drive towards ‘near zero’ by 2040.
Through this we will enhance the value and competitiveness of the agriculture industry in New Zealand on the global stage, while recognising the importance of intergenerational stewardship, kaitiakitanga, of the land.
Our public-private partnership is half owned by government, through the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI), and the other half owned by agribusiness companies.
Our investors bring deep experience across the sector and supply chain, as well as providing a close relationship with regulators and access to almost every farmer in the country. Private sector funding is matched by government, dollar for dollar.
We also work closely with the New Zealand Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Research Centre (NZAGRC).
