Powering Zero Emissions Agriculture

A public-private partnership accelerating the development and deployment of tools to help farmers reduce emissions without compromising profitability and productivity.

The challenge
Reducing agricultural emissions, not profits
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 overstated.
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.
Why we exist
We're accelerating the creation of tools so farmers will have options to reduce emissions
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 on the world stage.
We’re investing in a range of mitigation tools to give us the best chance of providing farmers with a selection of affordable, effective options to choose from.
