The NZAGRC and PGgRc are focused on development of efficient, cost effective farm solutions through the reduction of agricultural greenhouse gas emissions. 




New Zealand&#39;s research through the NZAGRC and PGgRc concentrates on research into reducing methane and nitrous oxide emissions and increasing soil carbon sinks to absorb emissions.   


Our research


New Zealand&#39;s researach into reucing livestock greenhouse gas emissions contentrates on six possible solutions:


	Low methane animals
	Low methane feeds
	Methane vaccine
	Methane inhibitors
	Reduce nitrous oxide and nitrate leaching
	Increasing soil carbon


An integrated systems programme runs alongside the detailed research work to quantify the contribution that farmers already make through their increased efficiencies.
