Our research 
</p>
<p>
New Zealand&#39;s researach into reucing livestock greenhouse gas emissions contentrates on six possible solutions: 
</p>
<ol>
	<li>Low methane animals</li>
	<li>Low methane feeds</li>
	<li>Methane vaccine</li>
	<li>Methane inhibitors</li>
	<li>Reduce nitrous oxide and nitrate leaching</li>
	<li>Increasing soil carbon</li>
</ol>
<p>
An integrated systems programme runs alongside the detailed research work to quantify the contribution that farmers already make through their increased efficiencies.
